System Shock 2 Enhance Edition update?

[Justo]

Has there been any news on the SS2 Enhanced Edition? The remake of SS1 is good and all... but honestly I was always WAY more excited for a spiffed up version of SS2. For my tastes, I prefer Nightdives remasters like Quake 2 and Dark Forces over full on remakes, and just honestly I think SS2 is a way better game than the original.

Yes, there was an update about it in the Kickstarter update that was sent out today about the console release of the remake:

What is the status of System Shock 2: EE?
SS2:EE is still going strong, beyond that there are no new updates that we can share at the moment.

The update is they're working on it still and there's no specific news.

Came here to ask the same question. It's almost been a year since remake released.

Stephen Kick, Nightdive CEO on Twitter on May 24th:
"Still working on it - because SS2 is such an important title to @NightdiveStudio
we really wanted to put everything we had into it. It'll still be free to Kickstarter backers as well as those who pre-ordered Shock Remake on PC."

So, predictions: will the SS2EE take 2 or 5 more years to push out the textures and maybe mildly more detailed models?

We know its coming and it looks pretty good. But why does GOG have a page for it but Steam and Epic don't? I would put it on my wish list

It depends. Game developers typically have secondary projects they work with whatever teams are not working on primary projects.

This is why the Quake 2 Remaster got started and finished while SS2EE is still on the back burner.

It actually makes sense and given that I doubt SS1 Remake or SS2EE are really going to make any real money whatsoever, its more of a labor of love than a real business proposition, especially with SS3 dead as it is.

A shame. I bet a AA team with UE5 could easily do SS3. The engine is amazing for game creation.
