A third title in the first-person action role-playing horror series, System Shock, has been confirmed for PC and other platforms.
Teaming up with Otherside Entertainment is Starbreeze, the publisher of games such as Payday 2 and The Chronicles of Riddick. The Swedish publisher is investing £12 million in System Shock 3, which is in its early stages of development.
"System Shock is one of those iconic franchises in the history of games that still gets my blood going and Mr. Spector is one of the founding fathers of the modern action RPG" said Bo Andersson-Klint, Starbreeze CEO. "We’re greatly looking forward to bringing System Shock 3 to players world wide in our collaboration with Otherside Entertainment and Warren Spector’s team. I’ll be first in line to play".
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Starbreeze for System Shock 3,” said OtherSide’s CEO Paul Neurath. They truly get games and gamers, and have been able to translate that understanding into a robust publishing business, and build thriving gaming communities around their franchises.”
As System Shock 3 is in early development, there’s no indication of a release date. A System Shock remake is also coming to PS4 with a tentative launch window of 2018.
