Developer Nightdive Studios has un-announced SiN: Reloaded, a remastered model of basic FPS SiN that was first introduced in 2020 for a 2021 launch. The unique recreation was developed by Ritual Leisure and launched in 1998, with Nightdive buying the rights in 2020 and re-releasing it with its enlargement as SiN Gold.
“You’ll have seen that there haven’t been any updates on SiN: Reloaded in fairly a while and there’s an excellent purpose for that,” stated the studio in a brand new replace to the sport’s Steam web page. “As we have been specializing in different tasks that exceeded the anticipated interval of improvement attributable to causes which were acknowledged a number of instances till now, this sadly had an influence on a few of our different titles, together with SiN.”
This can be a fairly clear reference to Nightdive’s System Shock remake, which turned out nice however was initially scheduled for launch in 2021 earlier than a number of delays. SiN: Reloaded’s unique announcement trailer is attention-grabbing on this context, as a result of it seems to be like what was initially deliberate was a reasonably easy visible improve with the sport untouched. It seems to be significantly much less bold than what was completed with System Shock which, whereas devoted to the unique recreation, is visually overhauled to a a lot larger diploma.
Nightdive says “the mission isn’t useless and we are going to proceed to sort out SiN: Reloaded, however at a later date,” including that “the mission can even undergo some adjustments which we’re not prepared to research but.”
I might guess that SiN: Reloaded as initially conceived now seems to be like a barely pointless mission when Nightdive has already made the unique simply obtainable. SiN is a good FPS nevertheless it’s an previous FPS, and it could be {that a} extra basic rework is the one manner it may hope to punch-through to a recent viewers. The sport’s Steam web page stays reside for wishlisting, which might be the one manner people can actually talk to Nightdive they need this to occur, however the launch date is now a obscure “to be introduced”.
