Nightdive on Mysterious System Shock 3: Will We See It in the Next Year?
As a devoted fan of the gaming world, I’ve always held the System Shock franchise close to my heart. This groundbreaking series, which made its debut in the ’90s, offered players an immersive FPS action-adventure experience that forever changed the landscape of the immersive sim genre. In this captivating universe, I found myself as a hacker on a mission to dismantle an AI menace aboard a space station. A few years later, the franchise returned with System Shock 2, delving even deeper into gripping narrative elements and chilling sci-fi horror themes.
The anticipation for another entry, System Shock 3, was palpable when development began under OtherSide Entertainment in 2015. However, following a shift in the developer team, details about the franchise’s future have been scarce. Now, Nightdive – the studio that owns the rights to the first two System Shock games – has shared some insights on this intriguing situation.
