System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is a revitalized version of the legendary 1999 sci-fi horror game, rebuilt from the ground up by Nightdive Studios. Powered by the KEX Engine, this remaster delivers a modernized experience while preserving the unsettling atmosphere and immersive gameplay that made the original a classic. Set aboard the starship Von Braun, you awaken into chaos, cybernetically enhanced but surrounded by danger, both biological and artificial. What unfolds is a haunting, mind-bending journey where survival depends on your wits, weapons, and willingness to confront the terrifying depths of human ambition and AI corruption.
This remaster offers a comprehensive visual overhaul. Environments, enemies, and character models have been rebuilt in high fidelity, complete with brand-new cutscenes and 4K textures that remain faithful to the game's original tone. With support for up to 120 FPS, ultra-wide resolutions, and modern post-processing effects, the Von Braun has never looked more vivid, or more terrifying. Everything from lighting and shadows to environmental details has been meticulously tuned to immerse you fully in the game’s dark and decaying corridors.
System Shock 2's signature blend of first-person combat, RPG customization, and survival horror remains fully intact. Whether you specialize in heavy weapons, master hacking, or develop psionic powers, the game’s deep upgrade system allows you to tailor your approach to every challenge. Strategic resource management, inventory juggling, and a skill-based progression system give weight to your decisions. Scientific research even plays a role, allowing you to enhance your weapons and exploit enemy weaknesses.
Multiplayer has been completely overhauled, now offering smooth 2–4 player co-op play across platforms. It's the first time fans can officially team up to tackle SHODAN's horrors together, making it a perfect choice for both solo players and groups looking to explore the story communally. The interface has been revamped to suit both controller and mouse-and-keyboard users, offering quality-of-life improvements too.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is a preservation effort and a love letter to a genre-defining classic that delivers a tense, unforgettable journey into one of gaming's most influential nightmares.
