The first System Shock Remaster was released in 2023. You can read the reviews and see what we thought. The sequel is fast approaching the console and PC’s June 26th release date, so you might want to play it now.
Originally released in 1999, System Shock 2 was developed by Irrational Games (Bioshock) and is included in multiple best games on all time lists. Irrational’s Bioshock franchise may be considered a big brand these days, but it is often seen as a spiritual successor to the Systems Shock franchise.
The System Shock 2:25th Anniversary Remaster will be released on June 26th on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X | s and PC.
