System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be released later this year. The game, a classic in the sci-fi horror genre, will be available on modern consoles and PC. After six years of development, it will launch on June 26, 2025. Originally known as System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, the remaster has faced challenges. Developers at Nightdive Studios had to deal with incomplete source code. They focused on making the game fit for today's technology, which required a lot of careful work. Nightdive has improved the game's visuals and added support for advanced game graphics. It will also run at higher refresh rates for better performance. For the first time, players will be able to use controllers, making it more accessible on consoles. The controls have been streamlined for a smoother gaming experience. The remaster aims to retain the creepy atmosphere and unique elements of the original game. Players will once again encounter SHODAN, the villainous AI with a knack for taunting and scaring players. The game's horror elements and engaging soundtrack are expected to enhance the overall experience.
