System Shock 3 has been in development hell since 2015, but Nightdive Studio is hoping to give fans some news about the game soon.
At GDC, Nightdive director of business development Larry Kuperman said that the situation surrounding System Shock 3 is complicated and that he didn’t have any updates yet. “Not as yet, not as yet. I don’t know when it’s going to clarify, but it could potentially be within a year,” he explained (via VGC). “It could be, or it could take longer. That said, what I can say is that we have visions of what we can do within what we control.”
He also said that while System Shock 2’s remaster is releasing soon, that doesn’t mean that Nightdive won’t do a remake. While it’s unclear what the franchise’s future holds after the release of the System Shock 2 remaster, he said that there were other actions the studio could take with both the first and second games. After all, a System Shock TV show is currently in the works.
