They found themselves in dire straits and Otherside parted ways with them in February 2019, pledging to continue the development. The game was initially to be published by Starbreeze Studios who helped finance the project.

Terri Brosius, SHODAN's original voice actress would also return. Among them are Looking Glass' founder and ex-creative director Paul Neurath, and ex-Irrational Games concept artists Robb Waters and Nate Wells. We shall see soon enough.While Nightdive Studios still owns the rights to the System Shock franchise, they licensed the rights to develop a sequel to OtherSide Entertainment, a studio formed of ex- Looking Glass' and Irrational Games' developers who worked on one or both games of the System Shock series. It remains to be seen whether the problems faced over the past six years of development will have hindered the studios’ desire to pay it fair tribute.

System Shock is a hugely beloved game, a genuine classic in an era that tosses that phrase around liberally. It’s understandably tough to approach this release with 100% confidence, given the multitude of hurdles it has had to clear en route to fruition. The launch of System Shock will finally put the long development cycle to rest, and will hopefully result in a faithful recreation of one of the genuine classics of the sci-fi/horror genre. A few short in-game clips are featured, but unfortunately, there is no full trailer, which will hopefully be incoming soon. In addition to the release window, developer Prime Matter has released several new images, showcasing the locations, enemies, and weapons that will be encountered by the player as they pick their way through Citadel Station en route to a fateful encounter with the terrifying rogue A.I.: SHODAN.
