‘System Shock 3’ Has Been Revealed!

Briefly: This we did not see coming.

After years and years of fans begging desperately for another entry in the venerable System Shock series (plus years and years of rights issues preventing a new entry from happening), System Shock 3 is finally about to be announced.

Otherside Entertainment has posted a countdown teaser on this page, which currently displays two ‘S’es, and timer with 5 days remaining in its runtime. I’d imagine a 3rd ‘S’ will reveal itself over time. At this point, it looks completely separate from developer Night Dive’s incoming remake of the original title.

They may have jumped the gun however, as this page with a full System Shock 3 logo has also gone live.

This is very exciting. I haven’t actually had an opportunity to play the System Shock series, and in fact only learned about its importance once the first Bioshock released back in 2007. I can’t even imagine how fans are feeling right now, especially as Otherside Entertainment is composed of several Looking Glass Studios alum.

In any case, there’s not really anything to say about the title at this point aside from the fact that it’s finally happening, so be sure to check back in 5 days for all of the details on the System Shock 3 reveal!
