Warren Spector, the creator of the Deus Ex and System Shock franchises, is reportedly working on a new multiplayer immersive sim known as Argos: Riders On The Storm.
Othersider Entertainment is the studio behind the new project, which was established by Paul Neurath, co-founder of Looking Glass Studios, in Boston, Massachusetts. Spector himself became involved after OtherSide opened up its Austin, Texas studio a few years ago.
Here’s what OtherSide has on its official website regarding the new game:
From the creative mind of Warren Spector comes a new game set in an alien yet strangely familiar world. As with Warren’s earlier work in the immersive sim genre, the world will offer players the chance to pick a playstyle — decide for themselves how to interact with a deeply simulated outdoor environment.
But be aware that the choices you make will have consequences, large and small, and directly affect your experience. You will be able to team up with friends to weave a unique story unlike that of any other players.
OtherSide confirmed that it will share more details at a later date, as it’s still early days yet.
In related news, it was recently reported that OtherSide Studio hasn’t been involved in development of System Shock 3 since 2019.
