After a gap in its development, SiN: Reloaded is returning later this year on PC and consoles, and there's a Steam demo available now. Nightdive Studios has been consistently knocking out impressive remasters of both beloved and niche oldies for a long time now, but the refresh of 1998's cult-classic first-person shooter SiN - originally announced in 2020 - was put on ice in 2023 in order to focus on other projects.
The short version
- After years of fan requests, however, it's back on track and coming to newly announced platforms later this year - with a Steam demo out now.
- Nightdive re-announced SiN: Reloaded back in March, and the long-awaited remaster has now received a substantial gameplay trailer alongside a Steam demo you can download and play right now.
- The full game doesn't have a release date yet, but we know it's launching before the end of 2026 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.

What the source reports
Blade as he prowled the dystopian megacity of Freeport, somewhere in the now not-so-far-flung future of 2037, as he tracked a recreational drug with ties to a shadowy corporation known as SinTek. It was built using the Quake 2 engine, but Nightdive's remaster utilises the studio's own proprietary (and cross-platform) KEX Engine. SiN: Reloaded includes the original game and its Wages of SiN extra mission pack, and Nightdive promises up to 4K resolution at 144 FPS.
Why it matters
That's alongside extra graphical features like anti-aliasing, HD textures and models, plus upgraded 2D art and menu art - all cleaning the visuals up while preserving the original's style.
