Nightdive Studios is also working on a remake of System Shock, having completed a $1.3 million Kickstarter during 2016. There’s no launch window just yet for System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition but it’s definitely one to look forward to. The crew have become infected monsters roaming the hallways and whilst trying to survive you’re constantly taunted by a rogue AI known as SHODAN. Originally developed by Irrational Games – who went on to create the BioShock franchise – System Shock 2 is a sci-fi horror set on derelict starship Von Braun. The System Shock series is one of the most coveted from the era, praised for its mixture of role-playing and storytelling elements.

As little has been heard of the title since the 2019 announcement it’s unclear how far along development is and whether VR support will come bundled on day one. The team went onto say: “No monkeys were harmed during the making of #SystemShock2EE VR.” Whilst certainly teasing, this does confirm System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition will have PC VR support to some extent. As you can see, there’s plenty of melee interaction using a wrench to smash windows, metal objects and a poor defenceless monkey. Now the team has teased virtual reality (VR) support for System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition.Ĭurrently, all the team has released is this very short video via Twitter showcasing the videogame in action using a Valve Index controller. Last year Nightdive Studios revealed work had begun on remastering 1999 classic System Shock 2.
