![]() ![]() It would make sense for the sequel to hit the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as those systems are set to receive a remake of the original System Shock some time in 2018. When pressed, Starbreeze simply stated that “other platforms are pending,” and told fans to watch out for more details, according to a report from Gamespot. While no specifics were announced, it seems reasonable to expect that the “other platforms” in question are the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. However, today’s announcement also revealed that the sequel will be released on other platforms as well as the PC. Here’s hoping there’s better times ahead of them.We already know that System Shock 3 will be helmed by the first game’s producer, Warren Spector, and will once again feature the vocal talents of Terri Brosius as its iconic villain, the artificial intelligence known as Shodan. However, while their tweets seem to discuss the franchise as a whole, we believe the overall rights to System Shock still lie with Nightdive Studios.Īs for OtherSide Entertainment, the studio is clearly going through some tricky times right now, with the aforementioned departures and now relinquishing their biggest project. Now OtherSide have seemingly given up, for one reason or another, selling the licensed rights to Tencent to take over its development. All of this was taking place while the game’s development struggled and a number of employees departed in late 2019 and early 2020, despite progress seeming to be made with the release gameplay teasers. Starbreeze Studios then invested $12 million for publishing rights on the game, but in the wake of that company’s financial problems, they returned the rights and OtherSide intended to self-publish. They then granted the rights to System Shock 3’s development to OtherSide Entertainment (founded by Looking Glass designer Paul Neurath) in 2015, luring Warren Spector, the producer on the original game, to join its development. However, Nightdive Studios were able to eventually acquire the rights and release an updated version of System Shock 2 in 2013, before also acquiring the full rights to the series. Since the release of System Shock 2, the rights and ownership of the IP were left in dispute between EA and Meadowbrook Insurance Group who had acquired Looking Glass Studios after its closure. System Shock 3’s development has been a tricky proposition over the years. ![]()
