Originally released in 1999, System Shock 2 blended survival horror and deep RPG elements to create a truly memorable game. This remaster aims to maintain the original's chilling atmosphere while incorporating updated visuals and improved technical performance.
Nightdive Studios, renowned for their work on the System Shock franchise (including the 2013 System Shock 2 remaster and the recent System Shock remake), initially planned a simultaneous release with the System Shock remake. However, development challenges led to a revised launch schedule.
The 2023 System Shock remake was critically acclaimed, achieving a Metacritic score of 78/100, a user score of 7.6/10, and a 91% positive rating on Steam. With the System Shock 2 remaster on the near horizon, fans can finally anticipate its arrival.
