OtherSide Entertainment seems to have put the development of System Shock 3 in the refrigerator. Prominent members of the development team confirm that they no longer work at the studio. It seems that OtherSide cannot find a publisher for the game.
Have the writer and director, lead programmer, lead designer, and other developers of System Shock 3 according to VideoGamesChronicle confirmed that they have left at OtherSide in recent months. The studio would have been looking for a new publisher for the game for a year, but seems not to have found it.
Warren Spector, the creative director of the game and producer of the first System Shock game and Deus Ex, said last year that many publishers were interested and there were conversations. An anonymous developer now tells VGC that the entire team working on the game is no longer employed by OtherSide. The studio has not yet responded to the VGC story.
Initially, Starbreeze had the rights to publish the game. The Swedish company invested 11 million euros in the development. Starbreeze has major financial problems and to overcome them it sold the rights of various games, including System Shock 3. The rights therefore ended up in February last year at developer OtherSide Entertainment.
