System Shock 3 Announced

OtherSide Entertainment, the development studio behind the upcoming fantasy RPG Underworld Ascendant, today officially announced development on System Shock 3, the sequel to the System Shock series.

Key members of the original System Shock and System Shock 2 teams will be part of the sequel. This includes Paul Neurath, who oversaw the original series’ development; Nate Wells, a senior artist on System Shock 2; and Robb Waters, the lead concept artist of both original games.

Several years back, OtherSide secured the exclusive IP rights to all future versions of the franchise. Only recently, through partnership with Night Dive Studios, who owns the System Shock trademark, did OtherSide get the rights to use the System Shock name for the sequel.

System Shock 3 is currently in the early concept stages of development.
