Confirmed - System Shock remake to be released in March
SirMadsen posted a blog entry in Sirmadsen's Blog
The long and shaky development journey of the System Shock remake seems to be coming to an end. Developer Nightdive confirms that the game will be released in March, which has been on the game's Steam page since October. The announcement is made in a status update on the Kickstarter page. Nightdive writes there that this is not the first time the game has a release window (the first plan was to release it in 2017), but that the situation is different now. "As some of you have already pointed out this is not our first time announcing a tentative launch window, but over the past few years much has changed - the scope and scale of the project has evolved dramatically and with Prime Matter joining the project it’s enabled us to focus on quality-of-life improvements, bug fixing, and localization support - the last major steps towards releasing a game we’re all incredibly proud of. This has also given us time to go back and polish various aspects of the game that needed that extra shine. So, if no further issues crop up, hopefully we'll get a firm release date soon, and the project will reach port after seven long years. Keep your fingers crossed. -
Sam Fisher is on his way back, but not in a whole new game (as far as we know), but in a remake of the first game. The remake will be made in Snowdrop Engine, which has been used primarily in The Division games. Matt West from Ubisoft says that they are still early in development and that the game is being rebuilt from scratch. However, they want to maintain the spirit of the original game, and for example, it will still be about linear paths rather than an open game world. Ubisoft Toronto is responsible for the development, and they themselves state that there are many veterans in the team who have worked on previous Splinter Cell games. They say they want to build a stable base for Splinter Cell's future, and in the video above they also say that "the return of the series is glimpsed on the horizon". It therefore sounds like the series may be revived seriously, unless they just refer to the VR game that is underway. We do not yet have a release date for Splinter Cell Remake, nor do we know which platforms it will be released on.
