Originally citing a release date before the end of 2022, this has now been changed to a somewhat vague March 2022. So, how do we know that it has been pushed back? Well, the key information comes from the game’s official Steam Store website ( which you can check out for yourself here!). We should start by noting that at the time of writing there has been no official announcement regarding this delay from NightDive Studios. So, will it be coming out this year? Well, just in case you didn’t read the title, the answer is sadly no! System Shock Remake – Delayed Again… Again… Again… In fact, they even went as far as to say that the PC version was pretty much finished. – It has been delayed, delayed again, and at some points its development has even ceased entirely (for reasons that have never been made entirely clear).īased on an announcement earlier this year, however, developer NightDive Studios said that the System Shock Remake would be set for release before the end of 2022. Pre-purchasing the game on Steam or GOG will get you the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition for free when it comes out.While many people are undoubtedly looking forward to the release of the System Shock Remake, given that it was originally revealed back in 2015 (no, not a typo!) it’s not exactly a secret that, seven years later and no game in sight, its development hasn’t gone even mildly according to plan.

System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition doesn't yet have a release date, but the System Shock remake is less than two weeks away-it's set to come out on May 30.

Multiplayer in the Enhanced Edition 'has been overhauled to create a seamless experience,' Kick said, and will both simplify the process of connecting with other players and provide a smoother and more stable experience. Co-op play was added to the original System Shock 2 in a post-launch patch, and to be blunt it was janky as hell: It was fun to pant and sweat with a couple of friends while running through the corridors of the Von Braun, but it was also a chore to get running and prone to crashing, and not really worth the hassle once the initial novelty wore off. The visuals are the most obvious upgrade but Kick said the biggest difference in the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition will actually be seen in the game's overhauled multiplayer. In my mind's eye, System Shock 2 has always been sharp and realistically detailed, but when I look at these images I'm forced to acknowledge that perhaps the passage of time is more of a distortion field than I realized. You can see the difference in the before-and-after screens above.
