Eternal Darkness Remaster Is Still On The Wishlist For System Shock 2 Remaster Team

Nightdive Studios, the team behind the recently released System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster and the Heretic + Hexen remaster, is eager to remaster the classic GameCube title Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. However, the game's rights are fully owned by Nintendo, making it difficult to obtain the necessary permissions for an official re-release. Eternal Darkness, developed by Silicon Knights, was the first M-rated game published by Nintendo and featured unique horror elements, including sanity effects that were meant to break the fourth wall. While the game's director, Denis Dyack, made multiple attempts to develop a spiritual sequel called Shadow of the Eternals, the projects were ultimately unsuccessful. Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick has also expressed a desire to revive other classic titles, such as The Operative: No One Lives Forever and No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way, but the rights to those franchises have been difficult to untangle for the last two decades. Nonetheless, Nightdive's next release, Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster, is scheduled to launch on November 20 across multiple platforms.
