Will soon be available on PC and consoles.
Nightdive Studios says that the System Shock 2 remaster they've been working on will soon be released. A firm release date will be revealed at GDC 2025 during the Future Game Show Spring Showcase stream. GDC 2025 begins March 17, 2025. The Future Game Show Spring Showcase will air on March 20th.
Beyond this tease of a release date, Nightdive also announces that this remaster is no longer called System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition. The studio has spent so long working on this remaster that it's now time for the 25th anniversary since the original release of System Shock 2. As such, this remaster will instead be called System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster.
Outside of the change in name, it doesn't seem like there will be any other changes from what was originally planned when System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition was first announced. This will be a remaster of the 1999 sci-fi title. It will be built for modern platforms using Nightdive's KEX Engine.
You can expect some enhanced visuals such as 4K resolution support and support for 120FPS. There will also be quality of live improvements such as FOV adjustments, post-processing settings, widescreen support, and the like. It will also include co-op support, proper gamepad support, and full mod support.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
And yes, I know the key art at the top says System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Edition and not 25th Anniversary Remaster for the title.

by Shawn ZipayA release is finally within sight.
It has been almost 6 years since Nightdive Studios announced that an "Enhanced Edition" of System Shock 2 was in development. The development went on for so long that the 25th anniversary for System Shock 2 is now here, which prompted an entire name change for the aforementioned Enhanced Edition.
Now called System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster, Nightdive says that they will finally get this release out to fans on June...-

Also why do you keep calling this the 25th Anniversary Remaster when the key art at the top clearly sa-...............*Cough.* Ahem... Hmm? I didn't say anything. Anyway, I'll see myself out.
I also bought SiN episode 1, but yeah.
And yet I'm still keeping an eye on it, while relieved Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms aren't involved anymore given Phantom Fury (despite the irony of SiN having elements inspired by Duke Nukem 3D, so it should've been a match made in Heaven). Strange. I'm skeptical yet I still want it? Does it help that I'm replaying SiN: Gold on and off (and aiming for the path with the most levels)?
I also bought Episode 1 and kind of regretted it given how it was more Half-Life than SiN (Blade sure got a lot more quiet since he's no longer inspired by Duke Nukem), followed by how quickly they abandoned it. I did like how useful the new Magnum is though. Shame Phantom Fury went with the old (and smaller) model.
I forgot about The Darkness. **** it would be good to see Jenny again. I still haven't decided which voice actor of Jackie I liked more. And also, we uh, EVER going to see Jenny be free, or is she a permanent hostage for the afterlife? Maybe I should've switched my head canon to her being a ward staff member. She seems happier there and doesn't mind slow dancing with the patients. Look, I just want Jenny to be happy, and The Darkness to be more like Tom Hardy's Venom (with the voice of Mike Patton).
...Damn I had more thoughts about this than I realized. Even I hate this wall of text. I'll uh, see myself out.
