Nightdive Studios has officially re-revealed SiN: Reloaded, a remaster of the boomer shooter first announced in 2020 and later put on hold while the studio focused on projects such as System Shock.
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.
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
- Play the original SiN and the SiN: Wages of Sin mission pack, optimized using the KEX Engine
- Beautifully remastered graphics with HD textures and models (up to) 4K resolution at 144 FPS, anti-aliasing, and upgraded 2D screens and menu art
- Overhauled control schemes and modernized UI for gamepads and M&K
- Improved maps throughout the game
- Swap between remastered visuals and the original SiN Gold version
- Brand-new achievements
- Higher resolution Zak Belika tracks mixed/engineered by Chris Mock
- A vault filled with exclusive, behind-the-scenes material
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.
SiN Reloaded releases in 2026 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2.
