System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster arrives this June
For weeks the team at Nightdive Studios were teasing that the release date for System Shock 2 Remaster would be revealed at the Future Games Show March Showcase and they were right as the game was confirmed to release on June 26. Check out the new trailer for the game below.
Nightdive Studios has rebuilt System Shock 2 for modern platforms using its proprietary KEX Engine, offering players the definitive System Shock 2 experience with improved visuals, enhanced gameplay, improved performance, cross-play co-op multiplayer, mod support, and more. Every aspect of the game has been refined to provide the best possible experience for new fans as well as veterans.
There are a few features the developers have called out, and they are:
Unknowable Horrors, In High Definition: Completely remastered visuals, extending to cutscenes and character and weapons models, with up to 4K 144 FPS support on PC and up to 120FPS on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
Might As Well Make Your Death Comfortable: The game includes settings for an adjustable FOV, post-processing effects, and ultra-widescreen support
Armed Forces: Choose from an O.S.A., Marine, or Navy background to experiment with different playstyles
Misery Loves Company: Drag your friends into the hell that is the Von Braun starship in cross-play co-op multiplayer
Interface This: Play from the comfort of your couch with gamepad support, then celebrate with an ice-cold medical stim when you unlock 50 new Trophies/Achievements
If You Want Something Done Right: Full mod support on PC and the ability to implement community-made missions at launch
The game will release on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch on June 26. I did get confirmation that Switch owners are unlikely to see the first game on their platform.
