Here's the official description to give you a taste of what's in store:

It’s the year 2114. As you awaken from cryo sleep aboard the FTL ship Von Braun, you find yourself disoriented and amnesiac. The situation is dire: hybrid mutants and lethal robots roam the corridors, and the anguished cries of the remaining crew echo through the ship's cold hull. SHODAN, a rogue AI with a sinister agenda to annihilate humanity, has seized control. Your mission is clear: stop SHODAN. Traverse the eerie halls of the derelict Von Braun, delve into its story-rich atmosphere, and uncover the chilling fate of the ship and its crew as you explore deck by deck.

Mark your calendars! Nightdive Studios will unveil the release date for System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster during the Future Game Show Spring Showcase livestream on March 20, 2025, along with a brand-new trailer to further excite fans and newcomers alike.
