FULL STORY
======================================================================

Stephen Kick, the CEO of Nightdive Studios and director of the 2023 System 
Shock remake, has hinted on Twitter that the studio may be looking to 
remaster and port the 2007 first-person shooter The Darkness over to PC. 

As PCGamesN reports , responding to a tweet which pleaded, somebody please 
remaster and port [ The Darkness ] to PC sometime, Kick wrote: ITS ON THE 
LIST. This has sent fans of the PS3/Xbox 360 title wild, although its not 
clear at the time of writing what this so-called list actually means for the 
game. ITS ON THE LIST https://t.co/mZiEKFru7q August 27, 2023 See more 

Nightdive Studios is well known for its modern remasters of older games - 
this years System Shock remake aside, the studio previously developed 2020s 
Doom 64 , as well as Shadow Man: Remastered and Forsaken Remastered , just to 
name a few. As such, itd be hardly surprising if the studios attention was 
turned to The Darkness , which was originally developed by Starbreeze 
Studios. 

However, whether Kicks tweet simply reveals Nightdives interest in the title 
or confirms that something is officially in the works is another matter - 
without a trailer or tweet from the Nightdive Studios Twitter account, it 
seems safer to assume the former for now. 

For those unfamiliar, The Darkness is based on Top Cow Productions comic book 
series (which has the same name) and follows the exploits of Jackie Estacado, 
who awakens to an ancient force that has been passed down through his 
bloodline after hes targeted for assassination by the Don of the Franchetti 
crime family. It received generally highly positive reviews when it was first 
released, and also got a sequel in 2012 which was developed by Digital 
Extremes and did come to PC. 

Although Kicks tweet is certainly promising for fans of the FPS, be sure to 
hype responsibly.
