The creator of Deus Ex, Warren Spector, has confirmed that he is working on a "completely new intellectual property" in his Otherside Entertainment studio. However, the message published by Otherside does not mention anything related to System Shock 3, in which Spector had been previously working. Instead, the ad seems to be focused on looking for new talent for this title of the study. System Shock 3 was originally announced in 2015, and Spector was as a creative consultant. The project was paused in 2018, when the EDITORA STARBREEEE announced financial problems. Spector said that Otherside had separated from Starbreeze and had continued with the development of his account, but he does not know much about the project since 2020. "We are still at an early stage of development and we hope to share news with you soon."
