System Shock 2 Remaster Announced for June 26th, 2025

Nightdive Studios has announced the remaster of System Shock 2 is set to release on June 26th, 2025. The trailer shows an exciting revival of a sci-fi horror classic, available on PC and consoles.

Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch

The original System Shock 2, released in 1999, revolutionized storytelling and atmosphere. It won over a dozen awards and was hailed as 'Game of the Year.'

What game-play wrinkles from the original do you hope they've ironed-out?

I want them to make the worm gun better. In the original it worked about as well as you would expect firing worms at people would do...

I want them to retool the "puzzles" so they aren't just RNG and if there's budget, finish the ending to be closer to what it was suppose to be. You can tell it was cut short.

Worm weapons were easiest way to actually kill yourself in that game. Agreed.
