The Epic Games Store is currently giving away System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster completely free. Instead of the regular price of 26.99 Euros, you pay 0 Euros, so you just need to add the acclaimed remaster of the cult classic from Nightdive Studios to your library. According to Epic, the promotion runs until October 8, 2026 – after that, the game will revert to its regular price.
Is System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster Worth It at This Price?
Normally, the remaster costs 26.99 Euros, but currently you pay 0 Euros – a saving of 26.99 Euros or 100 percent. For a full-price RPG shooter with a campaign spanning many hours, this is by far the cheapest way to get to know the title, and a clear case of "nothing to lose, everything to gain."
What Does System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster Offer at Its Core?
The 1999 original is still considered one of the most influential ancestors of modern horror and RPG shooters like BioShock or Dead Space. The remaster released by Nightdive Studios in 2025 received consistently positive reviews upon release, with scores ranging from around 80 to 85 points, and was praised, among other things, for its modernized interface, sharper graphics, controller support, and a newly added co-op mode, all without diluting the oppressive atmosphere and intricate RPG system of the original. As a soldier aboard a space station overrun by an out-of-control AI named SHODAN, you fight your way through dark corridors, freely distribute skill points as you wish, and experience a story that is still considered a benchmark for sci-fi horror in gaming.
