There are still many gray areas to be clarified, but SystemShock 3 has not been abandoned… well, a priori. Moreover, the remake of System Shock 2 would still be in the works without knowing its release date. Walter SomolVP of marketing and business development, said on company forums that SystemShock 3 “was progressing well and has, according to him and his teams, a singular and cool artistic style”. If the OtherSide Entertainment studio has experienced some internal turmoil, in particular because of the crisis linked to the coronavirus, it looks like the core team is still in place as stated by the studio. However, we thought the chapter was definitely closed last February, when we learned that the majority of the development team had apparently been laid off, except that in fact, in the end it would be nothing. We previously reviewed the original Prey from Human Head Studios. Let’s face it, we no longer know where to turn with SystemShock 3because if the reputation of the franchise is well established, the development of this third installment looks more and more like an endless cacophony. With the upcoming release of the System Shock remake (be sure to play the demo), we decided to finally review Arkane Studios’ Prey released in 2017, as it is a System Shock series spiritual successor.
