Hopefully this gives more hope to the possibility of system shock 3. The upcoming remake console ports should also drive more sales.

ANNOUNCEMENT #2: Where is Patch 1.2?​


You’re right, from our last update, patch 1.2 didn’t actually get pushed out. This is because we wanted absolute feature parity with the console versions. What this effectively means is that our players on PC will be getting the best version of the game, and will enjoy the same experience as our console friends. The PC patch is slated to go live early in 2024.



So including the patch notes found in the last update () we can add this list to the total patch list that are incoming:
