Nightdive specializes in releasing older games for digital distribution platforms, updated to be compatible with modern machines. The company also develops [[UpdatedRerelease Updated Re-releases]] using the proprietary Kex Engine. The company's first re-release was ''VideoGame/SystemShock2'' in 2013, followed by the Dark Savant trilogy of ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' and ''VideoGame/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream'' in the same year. The company also functions as a publisher, publishing ''Spirits of Xanadu'' by Good Morning Commander in 2015, and ''Womb Room'' by Bearded Eye in 2016.
