Talk:System Shock (2023 video game)/Archive 1

This is not likely a 2022 video game, either
The article already admits that there is no current release date. The game is not rated by any ratings agencies, the backer beta hasn't seen the light of day, and Nightdive have taken most of late November and December off every year since the inception of the project. I suggest changing the title to "System Shock (Upcoming video game)" to avoid future confusion. Claire F Eier (talk) 13:44, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * There are still 4 months left, but we will wait until either a confirmed delay or until late December to move it M asem (t) 14:00, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I guess this is why we should keep disambiguations at "(upcoming video game)" until a game is absolutely, definitely, no-way-around-it coming out that year. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 14:10, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The practice has been when needed is that as soon as we have a hard date (even if that is missed) we used that year rather than "upcoming". M asem (t) 15:28, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * And that might work for most games, but for this one we have been moving the article around again and again and again. There are currently five (5!) incoming redirects from other disambiguations:
 * System Shock (2017 video game)
 * System Shock (2018 video game)
 * System Shock (2020 video game)
 * System Shock (2021 video game)
 * System Shock (upcoming video game)
 * I will probably need to nominate all of them for deletion once the game is finally out. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 15:42, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should just call it System Shock (Remake)? (Kelis98 (talk) 22:10, 27 September 2022 (UTC))
 * "Upcoming video game" should do the trick, especially considering it has just been confirmed on Steam that the game is not coming out in 2022 and there's literally no reason to create another redirect for "2023 video game" until it's actually released in 2023.

 * Looks like we're adding 2022 to that list now. Godspeed my friend. Claire F Eier (talk) 13:38, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

This is not likely a 2021 video game
I see there was some question of the stated release date before, with dubious sources re-asserted as authoritative. The only contemporary evidence as of November 2021 that the game is intended for release in 2021 is the GOG release date, which is stated as "not yet confirmed." It would be unfortunate if the page were displaying optimistic information for the sake of either softening the severity of the delays or misleading customers and inadvertently disappointing them.

It should be noted in this interview that identifies the simultaneous release on new systems as the reason that the game is unlikely to release in 2021, which at least implies that the game really is supposed to release on Windows, MacOS, Linux, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X all at once, seeing as how all but the PS5 and Series X existed as of the beginning of the game's development.

By the way, it's not lost on me that this will be not the first, but the third time that the date will have to have been adjusted on the Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claire F Eier (talk • contribs) 04:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
