System Shock 3 Is A Go
The classic cyberpunk FPS series from the 1990’s is back! After a 16-year absence, System Shock has been confirmed to be back in production with dev team Otherside Entertainment formally announcing System Shock 3.
Otherside’s cryptic announcement page doesn’t tell us much (presumably it will say more in four days when that countdown clock expires). If you’re worried this new team won’t be able to measure up, they stand a decent shot: several key members of Otherside worked on the first two games back when they were part of Looking Glass Studios. And speaking of Looking Glass — still the current holders of the System Shock IP — they are working on a reimagining of the original System Shock. More than one game is heading to market with the SS brand on it!
There should be a lot more information about System Shock 3 when the game is unveiled next weekend. Until then, keep watching that clock.
