Despite OtherSide Entertainment’s involvement in System Shock 3, which hasn’t received too many details in the past few years, it has something else in the works. The developer confirmed that a new title was in the works led by Warren Spector. He describes it as an “immersive simulation based on a completely new intellectual property developed by OtherSide.” Some new artwork for the same can be seen above.
In a press release, Spector (who is chief creative officer for the company) said that, “It feels great to be working with a talented team on a new title and new IP. Fans of my work already know what to expect: an immersive world and engaging narrative that players will directly impact through their choices and playstyles. We are still in early development and are looking forward to sharing more information soon!”
Jeff Goodsill has also been appointed as general manager after working as a strategic advisor for six month. Goodsill’s experience includes roles in franchises like Age of Empires, Titan Quest, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, and more. He will lead growth for the studio while also overseeing production on future current-gen console and PC games along with the new IP.
“I am honored to be working with the industry luminaries at OtherSide. Paul, Warren, and their teams have played pivotal roles in creating and advancing the immersive sim genre. I’m joining a passionate team working on exciting projects and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish,” said Goodsill.
As for System Shock 3, OtherSide confirmed in 2020 that it was still part of the project despite Tencent picking up the rights for the same. The title was announced to be officially in development in 2016 but a release window and platforms have yet to be announced. Stay tuned for more details on the same, along with OtherSide’s new IP, in the coming months.
