About System Shock

After 22 years, cyberpunk cult classic System Shock is getting an update. A "reimagined" version of the 1994 Windows PC game is in the works at Night Dive Studios for PC and Xbox One, and it's a project that company founder Stephen Kick says he can hardly believe is really happening.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,491 ELO points over the last 170 days.
