System Shock 2 was originally released in 1999 and this cult classic sci-fi horror FPS with RPG elements has become widely considered as one of the best video games of all time.

Now, from the hands of Nightdive Studios, the System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition is coming soon to GOG!

With the goal of reverse engineering the original code to port SS2 to the KEX Engine, this upcoming title will let us enjoy the legendary game from almost 25 years ago, all with cinematics, textures, characters and weapon models updated, and the Co-Op Multiplayer overhauled to create a seamless experience.

Make sure to wishlist it so you won’t miss its release or any special offer and check out the 2023’s System Shock remake to fully prepare for the Enhanced Edition!

MysterD: Point of the EE:
So gamers don't have to mod SS2 to make it run and look better, basically?
So it works and looks better "out-the-box"?
But shouldn't that be a free patch for people who own the game already?

It's already there, ie, the patch that "makes it run better" (NewDark) has already been pre-applied by GOG to all 3 Dark Engine games (SS2 and Thief 1 & 2) years ago. HD texture packs aren't pre-applied but then that's sometimes a good for games that have at least 2 different competing texture packs ones (one that changes the style quite a bit vs the other that AI upscales but remains true to form) and the "correct" one is entirely subjective.

SS2:EE exists almost entirely for the benefit of console gamers than existing NewDark patched PC owners who were uploading Ultrawide playthroughs 5 years ago...
