SiN Reloaded is a remastered experience of the 1998 shooter from Ritual Entertainment, with Nightdive Studios once again giving a classic a new life. In case you missed it - Nightdive Studios are also doing the upcoming Thief: The Dark Project Remastered.

More about it: set in a near-future dystopian world, SiN: Reloaded puts you in control of security consultant Colonel John R. Blade as you take on the seductively evil Doctor Elexis Sinclaire. When Elexis, CEO of SinTEK Industries, begins injecting the streets with a DNA-altering drug, it's time to reassess the laws of morality by facing off against Elexis’ unholy army of genetically-engineered mutants. Known for pushing the Quake II engine to its limits, the original SiN was lauded for introducing a groundbreaking amount of interactivity in every level. Players can hack their way into computer terminals using DOS-style code, use elevators and security cameras to wreak havoc, and traverse levels using a variety of vehicles, including a forklift, a patrol boat, and a helicopter. Your actions have consequences, creating branching paths as the game progresses.

Ahead of Steam Next Fest, a brand new demo has been made available and there's a new trailer:

Yeah, so, I still remember SiN: Episodes, with infinitely spongy enemies and the story just stopping there, to never, EVER, get a continuation.

It was 20 years ago, and radio silence since then.
