As someone who wasn't alive for System Shock (the original), and who didn't expect to love the Remaster of it as much as she did...this sequel has me very excited.

A key for the game will also be free for those who pre-ordered the first remaster.

And for System Shock 2, while mods like Rebirth do exist for SS2's original game, there IS some issues with some 'choices' they made!

The Steam page is also here, for anyone wanting Steam over GOG

Anyone else excited for this one?

After the System Shock 1 Remake getting such rave reviews I was hoping the second game would get the same treatment. Are they not remaking the sequel?

I was hoping this, too. I know the SS1 Remake had a long history of scope creep, so maybe they didn't have the appetite to tackle the same thing with SS2.

But, even if they took what they had with the SS1 engine and build the same thing with SS2, it would have been much much better, and not take nearly as long as the SS1 remake. They already have most of the assets and interfaces built.

Guess not. I really liked the remake of the first game. Was a lot of fun.
