Nightdive Studios has confirmed a revised release date for System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster on Nintendo Switch.
Plucked from 1999, the sci-fi horror action role-playing game has been rebuilt for modern platforms with the developer’s proprietary KEX Engine.
The original game is remembered for revolutionising storytelling in first-person games, atmosphere, and gameplay in the medium, which in turn inspired a generation of games that followed it.
Promising to deliver “the definitive System Shock 2 experience,” you can expect improved visuals, enhanced gameplay, improved performance, cross-play co-op multiplayer, mod support, and more.
“Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, antagonist SHODAN and her army of merciless mutants infest the starship Von Braun,” the game’s press release explains. “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 utilise powerful weapons and paranormal psionic abilities to survive the monstrous creations of SHODAN – and endure her narcissistic god complex.”
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 10 July 2025.
