The long-awaited System Shock 2 remaster launches in June

Nightdive Studios' long awaited System Shock 2 remaster finally has a release date. The 25th Anniversary remaster of the beloved 90s RPG will be launching for PC and consoles in June.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be available on PC via Steam, Epic Games, Humble Bundle and GOG starting from the 26th of June. The game will also be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5.

The remaster rebuilds the game using the KEX Engine, offering improved visuals, co-op multiplayer, cross-play, mod support and more.

For those out of the loop, here is what System Shock 2 is all about:

“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.”

On PC, the game will run at 144Hz comfortably, and you'll have settings to adjust FOV or enable 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio. On PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, the game will run at up to 120Hz.
