While the first game’s remake is in development, System Shock is likely getting a new installment as well. It seems like it’s not going to come from Night Dive Studios (the devs of the remake), although they also mentioned the possibility of a new game in the future. The third game is going to come from Otherside Entertainment: they already tease something very suspicious.
On this site, a countdown is going, and there’s also a very intriguing text as well, which says „Pathetic creature of meat and bone… You think you can hack me?”. Wow. However, Otherside is also working on something else – Underworld Ascendant -, but still, it looks very promising for System Shock fans.
Otherside was founded by Paul Neurath, who was also co-founder of the original System Shock dev team Looking Glass Studios, but Ken Levine – the director of the second game – is also in this team. We can’t say that Otherside lacks talent.
We don’t know yet about this project (so no platforms either), but it might be another crowdfunded game, just as Underworld Ascendant. Also, Shodan should make a return. You can’t miss Shodan.
