The original System Shock 2 revolutionized storytelling, atmosphere, and gameplay in the medium, inspiring a generation of titles to follow. It completely reshaped the way gaming audiences viewed the potential for storytelling in first-person games and went on to win over a dozen awards and "Game of the Year" recognitions. Nightdive Studios has rebuilt the game in its proprietary KEX Engine, offering players the definitive System Shock 2 experience with improved visuals and performance, enhanced gameplay, cross-play co-op multiplayer, mod support, and more. Every aspect of the game has been refined to provide the best possible experience for new fans as well as veterans.
Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, antagonist SHODAN and her army of merciless mutants return to infest the starship Von Braun. Players embody a soldier who awakens 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 SHODAN's monstrous creations — and endure her narcissistic god complex.
