Former OtherSide developer says System Shock 3 team is "no longer employed"

Game Over

What just happened? Strapped for cash and with developers leaving one by one, it looks like the much awaited System Shock 3 is on life support, barring some financial miracle. According to a former developer, the project has been trapped in between the high expectations of its fanbase and the inability of the development team to rise up to them in a reasonable timeframe.

Dial back to March 2019 and System Shock fans still had a lot to hope in seeing a third instalment materialize, especially with teasers that looked fairly good for a game in early development. Some six months later, everyone was greeted with a new trailer that showed a glimpse of what the developers were working on in terms of gameplay, providing more signs that the 20-year wait could soon be over.

Fast forward to this day and a report from VideoGamesChronicle reveals the entire team behind System Shock 3 is "no longer employed" at OtherSide Entertainment, which means the much-awaited sequel might be dead for good, or at most, subject to an uncertain future.

A few key members of the development team had announced their departures in the past few months, the latest being design director Chase Jones who left earlier this week. A likely reason is the company's desperate search for a new publisher, which didn't lead anywhere despite the efforts of the game's creative director, Warren Spector.

According to an anonymous user at the RPG Codex forum claiming to be a former OtherSide developer, the only thing that's set in stone is that the team he was part of is no longer employed at the studio. The development of System Shock 3 is in an unofficial limbo
