News on System Shock 3 has been sparse or absent for some time. Today, OtherSide Entertainment took to Twitter to announce that Tencent would be “taking the System Shock franchise forward” and followed up with another message regarding the studio’s efforts with the IP.
Tencent is a mega-company and gaming titan with partial or full stake in numerous high-profile studios, including Riot Games. Read OtherSide’s official messaging right here in the two critical tweets.
1/2 We are happy to announce that Tencent will be taking the #SystemShock franchise forward.

2/2 As a smaller Indie studio, it had been challenging for us to carry the project on our own. We believe Tencent’s deep capabilities and expertise as a leading game company will bring the franchise to new heights.
