Overview
- Nightdive confirmed the Nintendo release date of December 18, 2025 for both systems and issued a new trailer alongside the announcement.
- On Switch 2, the studio targets up to 1440p at 60fps when docked and 1080p at 60fps in handheld, with gyro aiming and optional Joy-Con 2 mouse support.
- Producer Justin Khan described the effort as an "Impossible Port" and said the team retained deferred rendering to maintain System Shock’s dynamic lighting.
- A development shift from Unreal Engine 5 to Unreal Engine 4 enabled stable builds for both Switch consoles and accelerated the porting process.
- The faithful remake, created with input from original team members including SHODAN’s voice actor Terri Brosius, will be sold physically and digitally after earlier releases on PC (2023) and other consoles (2024).
