Otherside Entertainment surprised us last week with a teaser site for System Shock 3, a follow-up to the classic and much loved series that revolutionized the FPS/RPG genre. The Ultima Ascendant developer didn’t provide much by way of information but this week brings a haunting new audio file and an interesting survey via Survey Monkey to check out.

The survey essentially asks about your preferred system but also asks you to discuss your interest in virtual reality. This of course leads us to believe that Otherside Entertainment could be considering a VR version of System Shock 3 for release.

That being said, it wouldn’t be remiss. System Shock 3 will likely be out on the current gen platforms and PC, and if the reception for Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR is strong enough, it could come to those as well. Would you buy it if it was available for VR though? Let us know in the comments.

System Shock 3 is very much a thing – Ultima Ascendant developer Otherside Entertainment recently launched a teaser site for the classic FPS/RPG’s sequel, though there isn’t much to really gawk at for the time being.

The site’s description simply states, “Join the original team behind Ultima Underworld on a quest to rekindle this legendary fantasy RPG series.” Ultima Ascendant is the spiritual successor to Ultima Underworld and given that the former is crowd-funded, System Shock 3 could be heading down the same path. Regardless, there’s a paucity of information to be had currently so sign up for updates and such to learn more in the future.

System Shock is one of the most influential RPGs of all time, having inspired games like Bioshock and Deus Ex with its gameplay and mechanics. An Enhanced Edition of the original game recently released but a full remake is also underway. What are your thoughts on a true sequel in the franchise? Let us know in the comments.
