From Press Release:
New York (August 19, 2026) | Nightdive Studios — a renowned video game remaster studio and Atari® subsidiary — is excited to announce that SiN: Reloaded, the long-awaited remaster of the 1998 cult classic FPS, will release on September 24 for PC and consoles. This deep remaster of SiN boasts enhanced visuals, modernized control schemes, and includes the Wages of SiN extra mission pack.
Known for pushing the Quake II engine to its limits and its pulpy, cyberpunk-style antagonist, Elexis Sinclaire, SiN is considered both the last of the original-style boomer shooters and an important transitional moment to a more modern approach. The title was an industry trendsetter, featuring a cinematic plot, scripted sequences, non-linear game design, interactive environments, complex maps, and dynamic enemy reactions.
Set in a near-future dystopian world, SiN: Reloaded puts players in control of security consultant Colonel John R. Blade as players take on his nemesis 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.
The original SiN was lauded for introducing a groundbreaking level of interactivity. 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. Players’ actions have consequences, creating branching paths as the game progresses.
SiN also helped pioneer the ability to knock weapons out of an opponent’s hands and take area-specific damage from their attacks. SiN: Reloaded includes the Wages of SiN mission pack, where players go up against a mafia boss with a new army of dangerous henchmen. Both games have been optimized using Nightdive’s proprietary KEX Engine to play on modern systems, and graphics have been beautifully remastered with new textures. Additionally, control schemes have been modernized and maps have been improved with Nightdive’s established precision.
Key Features:
Fans can play the original SiN and the SiN: Wages of Sin mission pack, both optimized using the KEX Engine
Players can enjoy beautifully remastered graphics with HD textures and models (up to) 4K resolution at 144 FPS, anti-aliasing, and upgraded 2D screens and menu art
Overhauled control schemes and modernized UI for gamepads and mouse & keyboard make playing easier than ever

A vault filled with exclusive, behind-the-scenes material for diehard fans
The Nintendo Switch version of SiN Reloaded can be digitally upgraded to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for no additional cost.
SiN: Reloaded will be released for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1|2 on September 24th.
