Here's what you can expect from the game:
It’s the year 2114. As you awaken from cryo-sleep aboard the FTL ship Von Braun, you find yourself grappling with amnesia, unsure of your identity or location. The situation aboard the ship is dire; hybrid mutants and deadly robots roam the corridors, and the desperate cries of the remaining crew echo through the vessel's chilling halls. SHODAN, a rogue AI with a vendetta against humanity, has seized control. Your mission is clear: stop SHODAN at all costs. Traverse the haunting corridors of the derelict Von Braun, immerse yourself in its story-rich atmosphere, and uncover the grim fate that befell the ship and its crew, deck by deck.
Nightdive Studios will unveil the release date for System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster during the Future Game Show Spring Showcase livestream on March 20, 2025, where fans can also look forward to a new trailer.
