But not until Q1 2018
With a week ofKickstarter fundraisingleft to go for theSystem Shockremake, Nightdive Studios has a pleasant surprise for PlayStation gamers — the sci-fi action-RPG is coming to PlayStation 4 “around Q1 2018.” That’s in addition to the already-confirmed PC and Xbox One releases scheduled for the tail end of 2017, and this isn’t a stretch goal crowdfunders will have to help meet. It’s happening.
“When we launched this Kickstarter, supporting PS4 was a possibility, but we hadn’t started talking to Sony just yet about it,”wroteproject director Jason Fader. “We were all focused on wrapping the demo up and prepping the Kickstarter. We already had strong contacts at Microsoft from prior projects, so supporting Xbox One was less of an unknown. After we saw the overwhelming demand for PS4, we reshuffled our priorities and focused on talking to Sony about making that happen. After a few weeks and lotttts of emails, we are officially on track for bringingSystem Shockto the PS4! No stretch goal for it. We’re adding it in as a thank you to our backers that put their faith in us.”
I’m glad to see folks embrace this project and I hope those console ports turn out well. For the time being, you can previewSystem Shockwith a free pre-alpha PC demo available throughHumble,GOG.com, andSteam.
