System Shock 3 will now launch on PC and “other platforms” – likely to mean PS4 and Xbox One – thanks to a publishing agreement between developer Otherside Entertainment and Starbreeze AB.
Starbreeze has invested $12 million in bringing the game to market.
“System Shock is one of those iconic franchises in the history of games that still gets my blood going and Mr. [Warren] Spector is one of the founding fathers of the modern action RPG,” said Bo Andersson-Klint, Starbreeze CEO. “We’re greatly looking forward to bringing System Shock 3 to players worldwide in our collaboration with Otherside Entertainment and Warren Spector’s team. I’ll be first in line to play.”
Starbreeze says it will first recoup 120 per cent of its $12 million investment, at which point revenue share for the game will become 50:50 with Otherside Entertainment, though the studio will retain 100 per cent of the IP relating to System Shock 3.
The game is in the early stages of development and as such has no release date.
