Will there also be a System Shock 2 remake?

I think so, I read somewhere that it will be bundled with SS remake when its completed. Now I don't think it will be redone from the ground up like this one but instead, will come with a bunch of improvements. I could be wrong but that is what I most recently recall.

I read the other day in an interview, that yes, there will be SS2 remake, and it will come out around the same time.

There are no plans to make a System Shock 2 remake. What people are talking about is a planned System Shock 2 remaster like the enhanced edition of System Shock 1.

It's not a remake. It's an Enhanced Edition, like the one Nightdive did with System Shock 1.

It's supposed to be released when System Shock Remake will be released. Backers actually get it for free with the lowest tier that gets you the System Shock Remake ($30, IIRC).

There are also rumors/speculations and what not else about a VR Version of SS2, which would be awesomesauceness².

Extremely doubtful. System Shock 2 is sufficiently modern in its design that any remake worth the effort would have to be up to the level of games like Prey or Soma.

Now consider that Night Dive already tried to do something like that in their first attempt at remaking System Shock, and it didn't end well.

So yeah, no SS2 remake unless a publisher with a big wallet steps up to make it happen. And in that case they'd almost certainly want a bigger, more experienced studio to do it.

Not exactly a remake but rather a remaster with VR support but a full-on remake is not planned last time I checked.

[Retcon Rob]

At this rate, a remake of SS2 will come out by the time our grandkids have their own grandkids.

They are releasing System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition with System Shock. So you'll get to play that in late 2072.

Then a few decades later we might get a remaster of System Shock 2, assuming gaming is still something humans do that far into the future.

Which IMO was a bit of a shame, because, I liked what I saw.

But then, I can also understand the people who argued that it would stray too far from the original. It's just that I personally prefer the aesthetics and feel of SS2.

I totally agree that SS2 is still kind of modern in its design these days. They were light years ahead of the times. And Ken Levine is an absolute genius.

'also'

pity Elon Musk didnt buy SS1 SS2 rights, maybe we would see something Alien isolation style with VR compatibility.... but no.

That's not a rumor, it's already confirmed to be part of their SS2 remaster.
