As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll soon be able to play System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition on my Nintendo Switch! Nightdive Studios has made the exciting announcement. Alongside unveiling a new platform for the game, they also shared some intriguing news about their remastered version of System Shock 2. It seems there’s been a name change to this updated version!
Back in August 2019, Nightdive Studios unveiled the enhanced version of System Shock 2 during their festivities marking the game’s 20th anniversary. Initially, they hinted that we could expect the remaster soon. However, six years on, it hasn’t quite gone as planned, but now there are indications that the project is starting to move again.
By mid-February 2025, Nightdive Studios unveiled the news that the forthcoming game would no longer bear the “enhanced edition” suffix in its title and instead be known as “System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster“. Based in Vancouver, Washington, this studio also disclosed an extension of the remaster’s supported platforms, adding the Switch to the list. As a result, this upcoming game will mark the first time any System Shock title is available on a Nintendo console. The previously announced backward compatibility for Switch 2 ensures that “System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster” can also be played on Nintendo’s upcoming console.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster Release Date Coming in March 2025
Exciting news for all System Shock 2 fans! Nightdive Studios has finally confirmed that the release date of the 25th Anniversary Remaster is approaching, and they plan to announce it at the upcoming Game Developers Conference (GDC) in March. Specifically, during the Future Game Show Spring Showcase on March 20, which is a livestream event. This means that we can expect to hear about the release date for System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster during this showcase. Given the timing of the announcement, it looks like the game will be coming out in 2025, making its launch closer to the original game’s 26th anniversary rather than its 25th. Can hardly wait to dive back into the world of System Shock 2!
Nightdive Studios hasn’t provided specific details about the reasons behind the prolonged development of the remaster. Given the unpredictable nature of contemporary game development and the studio’s extensive workload in recent years, it’s not surprising that they released five remasters in 2024. This is a significant achievement considering Nightdive Studios, as per LinkedIn data from 2025, has approximately 40 employees on staff.
In addition to the Nintendo Switch, the remastered version of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Edition will also be made available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and personal computers. At this time, there is no announced price for the project. Similar to its 1999 predecessor, the upcoming game is expected to attract fans of simulation games, horror titles with role-playing elements, and immersive gaming experiences.
