![]() It also notes it's looking into the possibility of offering a similarly structured discount for System Redux's next-gen console release and says it should have more on that front soon. "You can think of it so that you pay for the new story content only, while getting all other improvements and additions for free", says Bloober. And while there's no free upgrade for existing owners, anyone with the initial release in their Steam library will be able to pre-purchase System Redux with an 80% discount until 15th September, bringing the cost down to £4.76/$5.99. Observer System Redux will, according to Bloober, launch alongside its next-gen console counterparts this "holiday", and will cost £23.79/$29.99 USD - around the same price as the original game. Less specifically, the developer also says to expect "new game mechanics" and quality-of-life improvements. ![]() System Redux will, for instance, include three brand-new side quests (titled Errant Signal, Her Fearful Symmetry, and It Runs in the Family), as well as additional neural interrogations, new secrets, and redesigned stealth - a welcome reveal, given that stealth was easily one of the weakest aspects of the original game. The developer has also now discussed the game's previously promised new story content and gameplay enhancements in a little more detail. That core experience will receive a significant technological upgrade on PC, with Bloober Team's spruced-up System Redux edition featuring the likes of ray-tracing, HDR lighting, new 4K textures, completely new character models and animations, plus special effects such as snow, fog, and rain. The deeply atmospheric end result is part methodically paced investigation adventure, and part breathless hallucinatory nightmare, with players able to enter the minds of witnesses in search of clues. Set almost exclusively in a dilapidated Kraków apartment block, populated by some extremely odd tenants, players are cast as Observer detective Daniel Lazarski (voiced by the late Rutger Hauer) on the hunt for his estranged son. The original version of Observer released back in 2017, and delivered a compelling blend of dystopian murder mystery and surreal, visually arresting, horror. And in equally pleasing news, there's a big discount for existing users, and a limited-time demo of the upgraded experience is out today. ![]() Little changes like this, in addition to faster interrogations and easier navigation of the game's world, are part of what makes System Redux such a compelling offering, even if you've played the original.Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team has finally confirmed that, yes, its striking sci-fi horror revamp, Observer System Redux, will be making its way to Steam alongside the previously announced next-gen console releases. To me, that can only be a plus in narrative-focused experiences like Observer. It's pretty simplistic, almost too much so, but it's a definite improvement and ultimately serves to keep you on a forward trajectory. While the original's had an obtuse grid you had to find patterns in, all you need to do here is find solid numbers in a field of flashing letters.

For one thing, the original's frustrating stealth levels have been reworked, and are much more forgiving than before. ![]() There are numerous little quality-of-life fixes made to the game that make it a leaner, more compelling, less mixed package. But where System Redux differs in how much more easily it allows players to experience Observer's story. ![]()
