System Shock is going to be completed and all of our promises fulfilled.” Please accept my personal assurance that we will be back and stronger than ever. We are taking a break, but NOT ending the project. “I have put the team on a hiatus while we reassess our path so that we can return to our vision. “It has become clear to me that we took the wrong path, that we turned our backs on the very people who made this possible, our Kickstarter backers,” Kick said in the post. Thus, Kick has made the executive decision to place the project on hold for the time being, while stressing that the project is absolutely not being closed down. The larger version of the project continued to require a bigger budget, and thus, more money as well as manpower. In the latest Kickstarter update, Kick explains that the game, while initially planned to come to fruition as a remaster developed in the Unity game engine, eventually grew in scope to become a new game entirely. After the studio successfully reached its funding goal on Kickstarter back in June 2016 with $1.3 million dollars from 21,625 backers, the project is now 'taking a break,' according to Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick. Development for the upcoming System Shock remake from Nightdive Studios has been placed on hold, at least for the immediate future.
