You might be forgiven for not remembering this one, since it was announced way back in 2020 and delayed its 2021 release date. But SiN: Reloaded is finally coming, and we’re happy to dive back into a game that might have been part of our childhoods. A new announcement trailer has the remake of a fairly popular 1998 shooter releasing sometime this year for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
For those of you who haven’t had the chance to play this one back in the day, it brought a lot of innovative (at the time) mechanics. These include the ability to hack computers, branching narrative paths, taking damage on specific areas of your body, the ability to knock weapons out of your enemies’ hands at close range, and, of course, genetically altered mutants to shoot at.
Those mutants come courtesy of Elexis Sinclaire, whose DNA-altering drug catches the attention of John “Rusty” Blade, a crime fighter who refuses to let Freeport, his city, succumb to the influence of Sinclaire’s wicked machinations. It’s a fairly simple premise that’s handled quite well on both the narrative and gameplay fronts, and this one’s a title we’re looking forward to.
Unfortunately, we don’t know how long we’ve got to wait before we play it, but the announcement trailer below should help pass the time.
