Nightdive Studios has confirmed that the fate of the third instalment of the eagerly-anticipated System Shock series still lies with Tencent.
In an interview at Gamescom, CEO Stephen Kick confirmed that whilst his studio retains the right to remake the first – and potentially second – game from the series, rights to the third game were sold to Tencent.
“When we originally acquired the rights to the franchise, we licensed the rights for the third game to Warren and Paul [Neurath] at Otherside. They then subsequently sold their rights to Tencent,” he told VGC.
