The long-awaited System Shock 2 remaster launches in June

Nightdive Studios' long awaited System Shock 2 remaster finally has a release date. The 25th Anniversary remaster of the beloved 90s RPG will be launching for PC and consoles in June.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be available on PC via Steam, Epic Games, Humble Bundle and GOG starting from the 26th of June. The game will also be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5.

The remaster rebuilds the game using the KEX Engine, offering improved visuals, co-op multiplayer, cross-play, mod support and more.

For those out of the loop, here is what System Shock 2 is all about:

“Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, antagonist 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 skills and utilize powerful weapons and paranormal psionic abilities to survive the monstrous creations of SHODAN — and endure her narcissistic god complex.”

On PC, the game will run at 144Hz comfortably, and you'll have settings to adjust FOV or enable 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio. On PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, the game will run at up to 120Hz.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
