System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster launches on June 26, 2025, developer Nightdive Studios has announced.
The modernized version of the much-loved, 1999 sci-fi horror action role-playing game is set for release on PC and, for the first time, consoles. Expect a launch on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store, and the Humble Bundle Store, and on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch.
Nightdive Studios rebuilt System Shock 2 for modern platforms using its proprietary KEX Engine. As you’d expect, it has improved visuals, enhanced gameplay, improved performance, cross-play co-op multiplayer, and mod support, among other modern video game features.
Here’s the official blurb on System Shock 2:
Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, antagonist SHODAN and her army of merciless mutants infest the starship Von Braun. Players embody a soldier who awakes from cryo-sleep with cybernetic implants grafted to his flesh. As he sets out to unravel the horrifying mystery of the derelict starship, he’ll need to hone his upgradable skills and utilize powerful weapons and paranormal psionic abilities to survive the monstrous creations of SHODAN — and endure her narcissistic god complex.
