The websites used for System Shock 3 have since been taken down. In May 2020 Otherside officially informed that conglomerate Tencent would be taking System Shock 3 'onward'. In February 2020 things took a turn for the worse when it was reported that System Shock 3's development team was no longer employed at Otherside.

įollowing the release of the game's pre-alpha footage in September 2019, rumors of Otherside's inside problems began emerging, mentioning the game being critically behind schedule and the team members being laid off. They found themselves in dire straits and Otherside parted ways with them in February 2019, pledging to continue the development.

The game was initially to be published by Starbreeze Studios who helped finance the project. Terri Brosius, SHODAN's original voice actress would also return. Among them are Looking Glass' founder and ex-creative director Paul Neurath, and ex-Irrational Games concept artists Robb Waters and Nate Wells. While Nightdive Studios still owns the rights to the System Shock franchise, they licensed the rights to develop a sequel to OtherSide Entertainment, a studio formed of ex- Looking Glass' and Irrational Games' developers who worked on one or both games of the System Shock series.
