Separate from all of this, developer OtherSide Entertainment is still working on System Shock 3. In March, it showed off an update of how this from-the-ground-up rebuild is coming along. The company launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2016 that raised $1.35 million. Of course, Nightdive is still working on its System Shock remake. Its design is influential to this day in fellow immersive sims like Dishonored 2, Prey (2017), and more. It provides you with a world and a set of skills, and then it empowers you with figuring out how to solve different problems. System Shock 2 is one of defining games of the PC platform in the 1990s.

But if the studio ends up doing something like that, it will likely come after the launch of the Enhanced Edition. It is building that in the Unreal Engine, and it looks like a contemporary release. Nightdive is also working on a remake of the original System Shock. Do not, however, expect a full visual overhaul from this version.

You should expect cleaned-up visuals, support for modern displays, and other general improvements. Nightdive hasn’t provided a lot more info about System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition. This follows up on Nightdive’s work to release the Enhanced Edition of the first System Shock in 2015.

The team announced its plans to update the 1999 immersive sim in a post on Twitter last night and during a livestream on Twitch. System Shock 2 is getting an Enhanced Edition from developer Nightdive Studios. We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Summit Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of 'Playing the Edge.'
