Instead of blanking content with the promise of research and balanced critiques, leave the section as is until you are ready to edit to the balanced version. Completely removing the criticisms section along with the comments 'good riddance' is a flagrant pov violation. I reverted to the npov version that includes criticisms. When I get a chance I will attempt to research and include a section with balanced critiques of the game, citing sources. In the interests of NPOV I have removed the criticism section. As I mentioned in my edit summary, the section was full of weasel words, none of the criticisms cited had any sources, and the article lacked any equivalent section for critical praise of the game. My old comments about this section appear to have been moved to the System Shock article's talk page. So, the answer to if System Shock 3 is still happening is - possibly, but Tencent has not acknowledged its development publicly, which is deeply concerning.Hmm, this is odd. It is unclear if Tencent is retaining anything that OtherSide developed though - and it is also unclear if System Shock 3 is even currently in active development. The latter looked pretty good and suggested the game would take place at a TriOptimum Blacksite. When OtherSide was developing the game, it received a non-gameplay teaser trailer in March 2019, and in September 2019, it received a pre-alpha gameplay trailer. If Tencent has a studio developing the game, it has not made that information public. Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick has reiterated that the rights to System Shock 3 (and potentially additional sequels) belong to Tencent, but Tencent has not commented on the project’s development since acquiring it.

In March 2022, OtherSide co-founder Warren Spector (who also created the original System Shock) clarified that OtherSide had ceased developing System Shock 3 at all after 2019, and the project belongs exclusively to Tencent now. In December 2015, OtherSide Entertainment acquired the rights to develop System Shock 3 from Nightdive Studios, but in May 2020, OtherSide released a statement that multinational corporation Tencent had taken over the development. Right now, System Shock 3 is either in development hell or in an early stage of development. System Shock 3 Is Not Canceled at Tencent, but It’s Uncertain If It’s Really Happening And a lot of people, myself included, are wondering whether System Shock 3 is still happening.

Now that the System Shock remake is here, what’s the story with System Shock 3? We’ve not heard anything in a while.
