Nightdive Studios finally remembers that SiN exists 😱🎮 In a shocking twist that surprised absolutely no one, Nightdive Studios has officially re-revealed SiN: Reloaded, a remaster of the boomer shooter that was announced in 2020 and subsequently forgotten about faster than you forget to cancel that free trial subscription. While the studio was busy polishing System Shock to a mirror sheen (again), poor SiN sat in the corner gathering digital dust and questioning its life choices. 😔
This remaster, like most of Nightdive’s work, included enhanced visuals and performance, alongside a modern control scheme. But it also includes the main game, the SiN: Wages of SiN mission pack, and a vault feature. Here’s an overview of the features
SiN Reloaded once felt like it might never come out, but the studio now lists a vague 2026 release window. Even better, it is planned for every current console and PC, including Nintendo Switch 2. Because apparently, we needed another way to play a 26-year-old shooter while waiting for the next big thing. 🤷♂️
Originally released on PC in 1998, SiN was developed by Ritual Entertainment and Hyperion Entertainment, and published by Activision. It was made using a modified version of the Quake II engine. Set in a near-future dystopian world, you play as security consultant Colonel John R. Blade, taking on an villanious CEO named Doctor Elexis Sinclare, who starts injecting the streets with a DNA-altering drug. While SiN was originally met with decent reviews, it’s taken on a cult classic status over the years. Probably because we’ve run out of other things to remaster.
SiN Reloaded releases in 2026 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2. So mark your calendars, set a reminder, and maybe write it on your hand because we all know how good we are at remembering things that aren’t announced tomorrow. 📝
