Originally set to release for PS5 on 26th June, the 25th Anniversary Remaster for System Shock 2 has been delayed on consoles. The PC version will still release this week, but console players will have to wait a while longer after Nightdive Studios encountered "issues" preventing it from launching.
In a social media message, the Washington-based studio explained: "We have encountered issues that have prevented us from launching System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster on consoles, including Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation, on June 26 as originally intended."
According to the statement, the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch versions are "targeting the first two weeks of July" for a console launch.
Much more of a standard remaster compared to the complete overhaul the original System Shock received last year, the sequel's re-release is still close, but not quite as close as it once was. Are you happy to wait a few extra weeks? Let us know in the comments below.

Well, my Wallet is thankful... I however am not 😅 I don't care about Death Stranding so this was my big release for the week 🤷♂️
Looking forward to this, as long as it's good I don't really care about 2-3 weeks
damn, was really looking forward to it.
Aww shame i was aiming to have that as my side game to DS2.
Wow I’m annoyed as hell I was dying to play this when it released Thursday especially after wrapping up a plat run of the original Deus ex a few days ago
@DennisReynolds lol same here
What a bummer... was looking forward to being verbally abused by Shodan this weekend 😅
Nice, I didn't realize it was almost out. I hope there's a physical copy.
Looks like Death Stranding 2 has game of the month on lock
That’s fine, just release it when it’s ready.
Is this getting a physical release like the first one?
SS2 is brilliant and well worth a play for anyone who has not played it before. You can really see the blueprint that led to the Bioshock games later.
@UncleByron I think it still left its own legacy but nothing could ever beat Half Life for being incredible in every way. I played Black Mesa (the fan made remake) a few years back and the Half Life style and story is still timeless. If they could get Black Mesa on consoles it would be great for a new generation to experience that game, and the creators deserve success from it.
Is it death stranding 2?
@Bamila We both know it was because of MindsEye all along.
I'm kind of super sus on anything System Shock at this point. There's so much crazy baggage to this project over the years that I have a hard time believing it's going to turn out ok.
Especially considering the buggy broken state the System Shock 1 remake on PS5 is still in.
That said... I want to root for Nightdive. And allegedly the issues with SS1 has everything to do with the publisher, Prime Matter, refusing to pay for a completed patch to go through cert. Wild if true. And their name isn't on this one so...
Fingers crossed I guess.
