[Updated] OtherSide Potentially Teaming With Tencent to Save ‘System Shock 3’?

Published

on

UPDATE: OtherSide has confirmed that they’ve teamed up with Tencent for System Shock 3.

It’s been the big unknown for OtherSide Entertainment and System Shock 3, what with staff being laid off and OtherSide’s Warren Spector still searching for a publisher after having bought the rights back after Starbreeze imploded. There appears to be a glimmer of good news for the developers and the game, however.

Video Games Chronicle reports that SystemShock3.com and SystemShock4.com domains are now owned by Chinese company Tencent, which is supported by the domain profiles on DomainTools as of April 13th. Neither site is currently active, however, and OtherSide uses a different site to share development news on System Shock 3.

This might all be a strange coincidence, but nevertheless it’s something in the form of hope for System Shock fans. Meanwhile, Nightdive’s System Shock remake is still coming along, though the team hasn’t had an update since March on the development.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]

Published

While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.

The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.

As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.

Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
