With this being the case, System Shock now stands in BioShock's shadow and will likely need to demonstrate it is as worthy of recognition as BioShock has become. This is why comparisons between the two series are so frequently made among critics and players alike. Part of System Shock's legacy ties it to the equally beloved BioShock, as after all BioShock began life as a spiritual successor to System Shock. First announced back in 2015, the System Shockremake has endured not just its own franchise's tumultuous history but also its own challenges during development, even at one point getting placed on hold by Nightdive Studios to ensure the project stayed true to its original vision.

Thanks to a brand-new trailer, fans have gotten a fresh look at the upcoming System Shock, the long-awaited remake of the cult classic first seen in 1994.
