System Shock remake: All pre-order bonuses, platforms, system requirements, and more explored 

The upcoming System Shock remake aims to deliver the same first-person immersive-sim experience that mesmerized players back in 1994, but with vastly improved gameplay systems, controls, and visuals. With its impending release, many players might want to get the game pre-ordered and pre-loaded on their platform of choice.

System Shock, the beloved immersive-sim classic, is easily one of the most influential titles of the early 90s. It paved the way for games like Deus Ex, Dishonored, Prey, and Bioshock. As such, fans of the genre were quite excited to finally get a modern remake of the 1994 classic.

Here's a look at the upcoming remake's pre-order bonuses, platforms, PC system requirements, and more.

System Shock remake is currently available for pre-order on PC with exclusive pre-order bonus

Despite having a completely different studio than the 1994 original, System Shock remake retains most of the core aesthetics, including the intricate level design, complex enemy AI, and the menacing overarching threat of the game's main antagonist, SHODAN, the rogue AI.

Following the gargantuan success of the original game, the series immediately spawned a sequel. However, System Shock 2 is yet to receive a full-blown remake treatment. Fortunately, for those who pre-order the game on Steam, Nightdive Studios offers the remastered version of the sequel, System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, at no additional cost. Note that this is a PC port of the 1999 console original.
