What else can we expect from the System Shock 2 remaster? More than just a last-minute addition, Kick reiterated the System Shock 2 VR mode comes from an outline for a “really remarkable, built from the ground up VR experience".

And so we brought on an expert to look about the cod and give us a brief idea of what kind of things we could do". Discussing the next-gen evolution, Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick explained, “During the process of reverse-engineering the missing libraries for System Shock 2, we had an opportunity to play around with the idea of creating a standalone VR version. Speaking to IGN, Nightdive explained that the VR mode will even have its own dedicated team to handle its development. Now, the studio is here to confirm it as fact. A VR mode for the System Shock 2 remaster was teased last month when Nightdive broke its extended silence with an update on the game and what looked like footage of an in-progress VR mode.

That's fair enough, but the big takeaway is the addition of VR support to take System Shock 2 truly into the sci-fi future it depicts.Įven if VR gaming hasn't quite taken off like the industry would've liked, games like Resident Evil 7 show effective it can be - especially in first-person survival horrors like the System Shock games. Alongside using the same engine that gave System Shock 4K support, achievements, and improved controls, we're told there will be an overhaul of how co-operative play works. Nightdive first announced System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition in 2019, and even though we don't know exactly how the game will be enhanced, the developer has been slowly feeding us titbits on what to expect.
