In 2019, shortly after it filed for reconstruction to avoid bankruptcy, Starbreeze sold the rights back to OtherSide, which also had to pay back the money the publisher had already invested. Starbreeze got the publishing rights back in 2017 when it pledged to pour $12 million into the sequel. If OtherSide has partnered up with Tencent, it will be System Shock 3's second publisher. OtherSide Boston's VP of marketing and business development posted in the forums to confirm that it was still around and working on a new concept, but that team is separate from the Austin-based System Shock 3 studio. It's been dead on social media all year, while the departure of staff and layoffs painted a pretty dismal picture. Since then, the studio has been quiet, aside from the pre-alpha teaser in September. In May, creative director Warren Spector said OtherSide was willing to go it alone but was still looking for a publishing partner. Neither site is currently active, and OtherSide uses a different site to share System Shock 3 news. The record was update on April 13 this year. VGC reports that the and domains are now owned by Tencent, which appears to be backed up by their profile on DomainTools. There's been no word of System Shock 3 all year, but the apparent transfer of two System Shock domains to Tencent suggests that struggling developer OtherSide Entertainment has found a publisher.
