Once known as the System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, this version features improved visuals, gameplay, and performance, as well as cross-play co-op multiplayer, mod support, and other features.
To elaborate a bit more, everything from cutscenes to character and weapon models has been improved to support 4K 144 FPS on PC and up to 120 FPS on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Here's the story blurb: "Set 42 years after the events of the first System Shock, antagonist Shodan and her army of merciless mutants infest the starship Von Braun. Players embody a soldier who awakes from cryo-sleep with cybernetic implants grafted to his flesh. As he sets out to unravel the horrifying mystery of the derelict starship, he’ll need to hone his upgradable skills and utilize powerful weapons and paranormal psionic abilities to survive the monstrous creations of Shodan – and endure her narcissistic god complex."
