It looks like System Shock 2 is getting a similar treatment. All of Nightdive’s remasters come equipped with new Steam achievements. In addition to fixing bugs, this means providing a number of quality-of-life improvements, like higher resolution support, rebindable mouse and keyboard controls, and an adjustable field-of-view. In fact, Nightdive’s reputation has been built upgrading older titles and making them more compatible with modern computer systems. And though Nightdive hasn’t successfully remade System Shock (yet), the developer has already remastered a number of older titles, including Turok, Blood: Fresh Supply, and even the first System Shock. Remaking a game is one thing, and remastering is another. The release of this new enhanced edition is “coming soon.”

In addition to managing that remake, Nightdive has now confirmed that they are remastering System Shock 2. They are still hard at work on that project and looking at a release window no sooner than 2020.

They had planned to release a remake of System Shock in 2018, but this timeline was too ambitious. Nightdive Studios certainly has their hands full at the moment.
