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: 25th Anniversary Remaster is available for pre-order on 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.

Pre-order now on GOG!

Now I wonder if they'll do a better job hiding the obvious twist that could have been avoided with a simple cover change and some switched lines.

Yes a moderator on the discord said that if we preordered/backed SS1 RM regardless of service we are still getting it, it should get listed BEFORE release on our libraries.

It's just a purely technical uplift, not a full remake. All the content is most likely unchanged.

Good to know.

Here's the old ad in case there are any disputes: https://www.gog.com/news/preorder_system_shock
"If you pre-order this version of System Shock you will receive System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free upon its release!"

From the store page description: "Hybrid mutants and deadly robots roam the halls while the cries from the remaining crew reverberate through the cold hull of the ship. SHODAN, a rogue AI bent on the destruction of mankind has taken over and it's up to you to stop her."

Perhaps not?

So exactly how much did they "borrow"/"reverse engineer" from the fan mod forum? Cuz some of the updated textures(like the eggs) look eerily like some fan mods out there. That aside, it looks nice and it'd also be nice to not have to fiddle with modding and whatnot. Also hoping this will cause some new fan campaigns to be made.

Questions: does anyone think they will make a full blown remake(like they did with SS1 after the remaster) at some point, or if the discount will improve before release? And are those standard client based achievements or in-game ones? Kinda on the fence on this one.

So I'm guessing that if you bought it outright without preordering it, you'll get the game free as well as those who preordered it?

To be honest, I'm asking because I forgot whether I preordered it or not...

How do we join this Discord server? I don't know if I ever got an email. Maybe I didn't, or maybe it went straight to spam.

Anyone know what the pre-requisites are?

From the image linked above it would seem it might be for SS1 preorders only.
