OtherSide Entertainment recently launched a teaser site with the rather on-the-nose domain othersidetease.com, featuring a countdown clock and a slowly changing image. It appears that the surprise has been spoiled, with another page discovered on the site featuring the title of System Shock 3, the OtherSide Entertainment logo and social media accounts, and a link to sign up for a mailing list.
OtherSide Entertainment has bounced back from the cancellation of System Shock 3 and Warren Spector is working on a new game.
Confirming reports circulating earlier this week, developer OtherSide Entertainment has announced that Chinese corporation Tencent has assumed control of System 3 and will be "taking the System Shock franchise forward" from this point on.
A recent report has suggested that the development team behind System Shock 3 might no longer be working on the game. We've got all the details you need on what this could mean for the future of the franchise.
Hugely lame. This would be like finally announcing the development of Half Life 3, then scrapping it. But worse, because people have been waiting for this way longer.
Whoa.
I would love a new system shock, especially since bioshock got so dumbed down with infinite.
