Nightdive is retaining the original voice actress for SHODAN to rerecord her lines. Those worried that Nightdive might get rid of some of their favorite System Shock audio, specifically SHODAN's voicework, don't have to stress. As such, the demo still uses the original audio. But, with COVID-19 being what it is, the voice recordings haven't been done yet. One specific example is that Nightdive is planning to re-record the voiceover for the game. That said, the demo doesn't entirely represent the finished quality of what Nightdive is working toward in System Shock. It's also been confirmed that the demo is a brand new build, unlike the demos that have previously been released for Kickstarter backers. Players will have to see just how badly things have gone for themselves. The demo then proceeds with the player running into several mechanical enemies turned villainous and even some other more disturbing enemies. The demo picks up right at the start of System Shock, when the player awakens from a 6-month medical coma to find that something has gone very wrong while they were sleeping.

It's made clear that while the game has a new look and feel, Nightdive retained the "classic stylings, story, and gameplay" from the original game. Nightdive Studios, which is self-publishing System Shock, made the announcement on Wednesday. Those still skeptical that a game from 1994 will work in 2020 can now assuage their worries by checking out the all-new free System Shock demo, available on GOG and Steam. That includes a complete visual overhaul and a retooling so that the FPS handles like a modern first-person action-adventure. System Shock is coming back after over 25 years, care of the developer behind the Turok and Turok 2 releases, as Nightdive Studios is hard at work revitalizing System Shock for a 2020 launch.
