A sequel to System Shock 2, the deep-space shoot-and-survive game, is unlikely ever 🦩to appear according to Ken Levine, lead designer at Irrational Games, who is currently working on BioShock.

The licence for the series is owned by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Electronic Arts and fans had hoped to see EA c🦩reate a third System Shock, but Levine says, "EA just didn't give a shi꧒t about that game."

Levine explains the situation so far: "I did a story design for System Shock 3, and they [EA] had it, and they didn't give a shit. It's just not their thing. They didn't see it as a big brand and I didn't want that uphill struggle". He also commented during the interview with P🌟C Gamer US magazine that "if EA were to do it, it would've been ju🌌st a regular first-person shooter with a boss monster at the end."

With EA controlling the System Shock name and obviously unwilling to do anything with it, it's a big disappointment♓ for fans of the series. Especially as Levine praises Irrational's publisher 2K Games, s𒅌aying "they believe in this kind of game."

With♋ BioShock already looking fantastic, here's hoping that success with that ga🔜me leads to another dose of System Shock.
