System shock 2 remake in the source engine10/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() All the character and weapons models are being remade, and we’ve received permission from the Shock community to include many of the mods that have become standard for many Shock 2 veterans. This will be a complete source port to our KEX engine. SS2:EE has evolved into more than what we were intending. It’s our intention to release both System Shock remake and SS2:EE around the same time. ![]() Pre-purchasing the game on Steam or GOG will get you the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition for free when it comes out.We’d also like to announce that anyone who pre-orders System Shock remake will receive System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free and ALL Kickstarter/Backerkit backers who backed at the $30 level or higher will also be receiving SS2:EE for free. System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition doesn't yet have a release date, but the System Shock remake is less than two weeks away-it's set to come out on May 30. Multiplayer in the Enhanced Edition "has been overhauled to create a seamless experience," Kick said, and will both simplify the process of connecting with other players and provide a smoother and more stable experience. Co-op play was added to the original System Shock 2 in a post-launch patch, and to be blunt it was janky as hell: It was fun to pant and sweat with a couple of friends while running through the corridors of the Von Braun, but it was also a chore to get running and prone to crashing, and not really worth the hassle once the initial novelty wore off. The visuals are the most obvious upgrade but Kick said the biggest difference in the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition will actually be seen in the game's overhauled multiplayer. In my mind's eye, System Shock 2 has always been sharp and realistically detailed, but when I look at these images I'm forced to acknowledge that perhaps the passage of time is more of a distortion field than I realized. You can see the difference in the before-and-after screens above. ![]()
