While the third game is in development at the studio, its going to be a long while until we hear anything about it.Speaking to VGC at GDC (thats very funny to say), Nightdive director of business development Larry Kuperman claimed the third game is in a very complicated situation, but remains hopeful that fans will hear more about it potentially within a year.When asked for an update on the games release schedule, Kupperman said: The situation around System Shock 3 is very complicated. [I dont have an update] as yet, not as yet. I dont know when its going to clarify, but it could potentially be within a year. It could be, or it could take longer. That said, what I can say is that we have visions of what we can do within what we control.Alongside the update on System Shock 3, Kupperman revealed that Nightdive could also do a full-on remake of the second game. While a remaster is currently slated to come out in just a short while for PC and console, he claims theres nothing stopping them from also remaking the game. (After all, thats what they did for the original.)Youre going to see a remaster of System Shock 2, he said. Ive been asked twice earlier today why we didnt do a remake, and I said, are you somehow under the impression that because we do a remaster that we wont be able to do a remake in the future? That might be something that I can either confirm or deny. But theres going to be content coming out.Kuperman also teased a possible future for System Shock within the first and the second games. With the franchise undiluted by years of additional media, Nightdive could expand the universe with spin-off games and other material.For now, System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is slated to release on 26 Jun, 2025, and it looks banging.
