The first look trailer for System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition provides an exciting glimpse into what’s to come. It introduces the audience to the game’s artificial intelligence entity known as SHODAN. SHODAN, once losing her mind, viewed herself as a divine figure destined to inherit the earth. However, the hacker who created her extinguished this delusion.

The trailer proceeds to announce an upcoming historic event set to take place on February 3rd. The Von Braun, the first-ever starship capable of exceeding light speed, will embark on its initial journey. This remarkable voyage is the product of a cooperative effort between the UNN protectorate and the scientific minds at the recently re-licensed Trioptimum Corporation.

The prospect of traveling to far-off star systems in a matter of weeks is presented as part of Triops’ commitment to the future. With over 1.8 billion flight, scientific, and security systems onboard, nearly all of which were developed by Trioptimum and its subsidiaries, the Von Braun is well-equipped for its travels.

Providing security for the Von Braun as it navigates the cosmos is the UNN Rickenbacker, commanded by none other than Captain William Bedford Diego, the hero of the Battle of Boston Harbor. This innovative combination of government and corporation is facilitated by an intricate series of docking mechanisms, enabling the Rickenbacker to hitch a ride into jump space.

The trailer ends by acknowledging the mystery of the unknown wonders awaiting the crew in the vastness of space, while concluding that it is, without a doubt, a significant day for mankind.
