LookingGlass Technologies’ cult-classic 1994 sci-fi horror System Shock is the latest in a rapidly ballooning list of video games to be getting the live-action TV adaptation treatment.
As detailed by Gamespot, the newly announced show will be a collaboration between Nightdive Studios, which currently holds the System Shock license, and Binge.com, an “immersive streaming platform created for the gaming universe” that’s set to launch next year.
Information on the adaptation is extremely limited at present, but it’ll be produced by Binge exec Allan Ungar (who you may remember as the man responsible for that unofficial Uncharted short starring Nathan Fillion from a few years back), while Nightdive’s Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman will serve as executive producers.
“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,” said Kick of the announcement. “We’re very excited to see the talented team at Binge bring System Shock to life in horrifyingly real and new ways.”
