System Shock 2 remaster release date – when you can return to Von Braun
System Shock 2 is getting the remaster treatment, bringing the classic sci-fi survival horror game to a whole new audience. But when can you actually play it?
System Shock 2 is making a return with a fresh new look, and soon you'll be able to utilise its multiplayer feature to assemble a team and finally defeat Shodan.
It appears there's no better time to launch a game about the takeover of a malevolent AI (despite having seen it numerous times before), so we're fortunate to be receiving a new remaster of System Shock 2. The sci-fi survival classic is set for a grand return following the significant remake of the first game, introducing the PC game to a wider audience with a fresh new look that makes it even more terrifying than ever. This comes as a treat for science fiction fans, especially with the arrival of a remastered Warhammer 40K: Space Marine on Xbox Game Pass.
The classic has undergone the remaster process, marking a significant shift from its predecessor's remake, which successfully captured the original game's remarkable atmosphere, narrow corridors and eerie happenings around every heavily-plated corner. Fans of survival games certainly have much to look forward to, with Prologue Go Wayback's numerous playtests and the massive Fallout 76 Gone Fission update.
There are plenty of futuristic horrors lurking in the halls of Von Braun, but when exactly can we get our hands on it?Here's what you need to know about the System Shock 2 remaster release date.
System Shock 2 remaster release date
The release date for the System Shock 2 remaster is scheduled for Thursday, June 26 at 1pm local time, excluding most American timezones. This information has been disclosed by the game's PlayStation Store page.
The 1pm release time applies to worldwide timezones and the East Coast of the US, while other American timezones will see the game launch at whatever this time equates to in their region, which is 10am PDT / 12pm CDT on the West Coast and in central areas.
While it's a somewhat perplexing system, it does ensure that players globally will have the opportunity to delve into the remaster at their own speed, familiarising themselves with the corridors of Von Braun before everyone is set to dive into multiplayer and defeat Shodan once and for all. It's undoubtedly a daunting task, but it's what many players are aiming to achieve, so assemble your team and get the job done.
