1/2 We are happy to announce that Tencent will be taking the #SystemShock franchise forward.
— OtherSide Entertainment (@OtherSide_Games) May 20,2020 System Shock 3 was announced way back in 2015. As Eurogamer notes,it suffered from various setbacks,including losing its publisher Starbreeze due to money troubles. While we saw a pre-alpha glimpse of the game at GDC 2019,reports that the game is no longer in development circulated earlier this year.
In a follow-up tweet,OtherSide said that it’s been difficult to work on the game on its own as a small indie studio and that working with Tencent is the right way to go.
2/2 As a smaller Indie studio,it had been challenging for us to carry the project on our own. We believe Tencent's deep capabilities and expertise as a leading game company will bring the franchise to new heights.

NightDive,which is working on a remake of the first System Shock for modern consoles,still owns the System Shock IP.
