"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. 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.
