The Epic Games Store has made System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster free, alongside the mystery game Buried Stars, until Thursday, October 8. Anyone who claims them in that window keeps the games in their library. VGC and Gamespew reported the batch across October 2 and 3.
The remaster marks 25 years of the 1999 FPS/RPG, a direct influence on much of the space survival horror that followed. It is not a from-scratch recreation like the first System Shock remake: it is an updated version, with a refreshed look and multiplayer support, according to Gamespew. The deadline cited there is 4:00 p.m. British time on October 8, which is 12:00 p.m. in Brasília.
What comes next
The following week, October 8 to 15, Epic swaps the pair for Out of Sight and TerraScape. Out of Sight is a horror puzzle in which Sophie, a blind girl, tries to leave a haunted mansion. TerraScape is a medieval city puzzle on floating islands. Buried Stars, from Line Games, is a mystery adventure around a survival reality show, with trapped contestants talking to each other and using social media while they wait for rescue.
The offer follows the store's usual format: claim in time, keep the game on the account. Coverage does not point to a console version in this batch.
