System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster announced for Nintendo Switch

Nightdive Studios is developing System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster for Nintendo Switch, the company revealed today. The release date will be shared during the Future Game Show Spring Showcase.

This project was originally known as System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition. The remaster is a modernized edition of the 1999 classic sci-fi horror action role-playing game.

Nightdive shared the following information:

The original System Shock 2 revolutionized storytelling, atmosphere, and gameplay in the medium, inspiring a generation of titles to follow. It completely reshaped the way gaming audiences viewed the potential for storytelling in first-person games and went on to win over a dozen awards and “Game of The Year” recognitions.

It’s the year 2114. As you awake from cryo sleep on the FTL ship Von Braun, you are unable to remember who or where you are… and something has gone terribly wrong. Hybrid mutants and deadly robots roam the halls while the cries from the remaining crew reverberate through the cold hull of the ship. SHODAN, a rogue AI bent on the destruction of mankind has taken over, and it’s up to you to stop her. Delve through the corridors of the derelict ship Von Braun and immerse yourself in the story-rich atmosphere and environment. Explore deck by deck and unravel the horrifying fate of the Von Braun and her crew.

A previous trailer for the game can be found below.
