Developer and publisher Nightdive Studios has shared a new look at System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster’s multiplayer with a new gameplay trailer. In it, we get a look at the revamped co-op multiplayer mode that Nightdive says improves upon the original 1999 game and the 2013 remaster’s multiplayer. It will feature crossplay between console and PC alongside various quality-of-life updates and refinements when the game launches on June 26.
Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, which Nightdive Studios recently remade, antagonist SHODAN and her army of merciless mutants are back to infest the Von Braun starship. In this sequel, players embody a soldier who has awakened from cryo-sleep with cybernetic implants grafted to his flesh, according to a press release. “As he sets out to unravel the horrifying mystery of the derelict starship, he’ll need to hone his upgradable skills and utilize powerful weapons and paranormal psionic abilities to survive the monstrous creations of SHODAN – and endure her narcissistic god complex,” the press release continues.
There’s plenty of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster to view online, but today’s new trailer is focused on its multiplayer co-op experience. Check it out below:
Nightdive says an extended version of this multiplayer trailer will air on Monday, June 9, alongside multiple deep-dive podcast interviews with team members who worked on the original System Shock 2.
