While not as technically impressive as the full-on remake of the first game, System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition still boasts improved visuals, enhanced gameplay, and vastly improved performance (up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second). This will be the most stable version of the game, as numerous bugs from the original release have been cleaned up. There will also be upgrades to the co-op multiplayer mode and fan-made content will be supported.

All in all, this sounds like a great upgrade to the original. It will be hitting PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S | X sometime soon. Users who purchased the System Shock remake on Steam or GOG will receive System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free.
