Press release:
New York, NY (September 24, 2026) – Today, Nightdive Studios and Atari released SiN: Reloaded, a comprehensive remaster of Ritual Entertainment’s 1998 cult classic first-person shooter celebrated for pioneering deep interactivity, area-specific damage and branching narrative paths. Rebuilt for today’s hardware using Nightdive’s KEX Engine, this release bundles the base campaign with the Wages of SiN expansion, featuring upgraded HD textures, modernized UI and brand-new achievements. Players can dive into the action now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam, and GOG.

The 1998 SiN pushed traditional shooter formulas further, introducing systemic features rare for its time, including area-specific hit detection, reactive enemy responses and interactive level elements ranging from functional computers to pilotable aircraft. SiN: Reloaded maintains the full scope of these mechanics, bringing the game’s reactive combat and adaptable mission structure to current platforms without compromising its core design. The game is also celebrated for its two main characters, the tough, street-smart protagonist Colonel John Blade, and the brilliant, wealthy, sexy and ethically-challenged villain Elexis Sinclaire.

“SiN has always been one of those games that deserved another chance,” said Stephen Kick, Studio Head at Nightdive Studios.

“It was ambitious, interactive, funny, and willing to experiment with ideas that were years ahead of their time. There’s an incredible amount of personality in this game, and that’s something we never wanted to lose. With SiN: Reloaded, our goal was to preserve everything that made the original special while finally giving it the presentation and performance it deserves. More than anything, I’m excited that a new generation of players will finally get to discover why so many of us fell in love with SiN in the first place.”

Fully powered by Nightdive’s proprietary KEX Engine, SiN: Reloaded brings significant technical and quality-of-life improvements across both the base campaign and the Wages of SiN expansion. The remaster delivers support for resolutions up to 4K and frame rates up to 144 FPS, updated HD models and textures, improved map layouts and updated control schemes for both controllers and keyboard setups. Players can seamlessly swap between remastered graphics and the original SiN Gold presentation, test their skills with brand-new achievements, listen to re-engineered audio tracks and explore a dedicated digital vault of exclusive behind-the-scenes production material.

Key gameplay features include:

Take Down SinTEK Industries: Step into the boots of security consultant Colonel John R. Blade as he battles the bio-engineered mutant army of CEO Dr. Elexis Sinclaire across a near-future dystopian city.
The Complete Legacy Package: Includes both the complete 1998 campaign and the Wages of SiN extra mission pack, pitting Blade against both SinTEK mutants and a ruthless mob syndicate.
Tactile Level Interactivity: Hack functional DOS-style terminals, access security camera grids, pilot heavy machinery and disarm enemies mid-firefight with precision locational damage.
Toggleable Retro Gameplay: Play with remastered HD textures, enhanced 2D menus and high-framerate support, or switch on-the-fly back to the original presentation of SiN Gold.
Enhanced Audio and Archival Material: Listen to re-engineered audio tracks by composer Zak Belika (mixed by Chris Mock) and dive into an exclusive in-game vault featuring behind-the-scenes development assets.
Free Next-Gen Upgrade: Players who purchase SiN: Reloaded on Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition at no additional cost.
