Originally released in 1999, System Shock 2 redefined its genre, masterfully blending survival horror and rich RPG elements. This remaster promises to retain the game's chilling atmosphere while enhancing it with modern graphics 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 launch with the remake. However, development delays necessitated a revised release schedule.

Their 2023 System Shock remake was incredibly well-received, boasting a 78/100 Metacritic score, a 7.6/10 user rating, and a remarkable 91% positive rating on Steam. With the System Shock 2 remaster on the near horizon, the wait is almost over.
