The approach to the game's distribution has been decided to be revised.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster from Nightdive Studios was released earlier this summer. The developers recently got in touch and warned players about the fate of the original game.
System Shock 2 (1999) will no longer be sold as a separate game, it "...will be removed from the PC platform on October 10, 2025. Existing owners of the game will still be able to re-download and play it from their library, but new users will no longer be able to purchase System Shock 2 (1999) as a separate product."
After the "separate" version is removed, it will become available in the library to both new and current owners of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster - at no additional cost.
