System Shock

Nightdive Studios is teaming with upcoming livestreaming platform Binge.com to bring System Shock, the cult-favorite shooter about a hacker who does battle with a rogue AI aboard a corporate space station, to the small screen.

"I’ve always believed that a live-action adaptation of System Shock would be the perfect medium to retell the harrowing story of Citadel Station and its rogue AI that subjects the crew to unimaginable horror," Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick said. "We’re very excited to see the talented team at Binge bring System Shock to life in horrifyingly real and new ways."

Citadel Station is the setting for the original System Shock, released in 1994. Owned by the Tri-Optimum Corporation, it＇s controlled by an AI named Shodan who goes renegade when a hacker—that would be you, nice going—removes its ethical restraints during a heist. Bad news quickly follows: Shodan decides it＇s a god and sets off on a plan to destroy most of humanity and dominate the rest, aided by the former Citadel Station crew, now horrifically mutated and cybernetically enhanced.
