The game’s details:
System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition is a remaster of the 1999 classic science-fiction horror action role-playing game, System Shock 2. The series antagonist, the malevolent rogue AI SHODAN, is back and better than ever.
Nightdive Studios has taken its restorative talents to a game that many consider one of the best first-person shooters of all time. Like its remastered predecessor, System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition has been rebuilt for modern platforms using Nightdive Studios’ proprietary KEX Engine, offering players the definitive System Shock 2 experience with improved visuals, enhanced gameplay, and vastly improved performance (up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second).
System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition is not only the most visually impressive version of the title to date, it will also be the most stable, as numerous bugs in the original PC game have been fixed. System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition will additionally include upgrades to the game’s beloved co-op multiplayer mode and officially support fan-made content. Every aspect of the game has been refined to provide the best possible experience for new fans as well as veterans.
System Shock 2 revolutionized storytelling, atmosphere, and gameplay in the medium, inspiring a generation of titles to follow. It completely reshaped the way gaming audiences viewed the potential for storytelling in first-person games and went on to win over a dozen awards and “Game of The Year” recognitions.
Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, 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 soldier skills and utilize powerful weapons and paranormal psionic abilities to survive the monstrous creations of SHODAN—and endure her narcissistic god complex.
