System Shock Owner Says Third Game’s Future Is In The Hands Of Tencent

The rights to System Shock were sold to the company Tencent a while back, much to the disappointment of players who wanted a sequel. Rumor has it that System Shock 3 has been in development for a long time. The latest news is that everything is currently wholly owned by Tencent. According to Nightdive Chief Executive Officer Stephen Kick, “when we originally acquired the rights to the franchise, we licensed the rights for the third game to Warren and Paul at Otherside. They then sold their rights to Tencent.” The director went on to say, “Tencent currently owns the rights to the third game and we have the rights to do the remake of the first game and possibly a remake of the second game. That’s about where it stands now.” It seems to me that a remake is in the works.


Golgoroth from Destiny 2 scares players with an extremely loud roar

Destiny 2 players have apparently gotten scared of a really bad bug in the latest version of the game. “We are aware of an issue where Golgoroth can sometimes produce an extremely loud roar in the King’s Fall attack,” the developer behind the game, Bungie, announced on Twitter. “It is recommended that you lower your audio output when fighting Golgoroth until a fix can be implemented.”

High On Life Dev Says DLC Is Already Planned

High on Life won’t be released until December 13, but the developer apparently already has plans for downloadable content. The news comes from Executive Producer at Squanch Games Maddy Studivan, who spoke a little bit about the upcoming title at the recently held Gamescom. “The most important thing for us is that we want to make sure we support the game for a long time after launch with bug fixing and content that we couldn’t get into,” Studivan noted. The company is currently thinking “as always about DLC. With Trover we have supported it for a long time and that has really paid off as a studio and so I think we want to do the same with High on Life.”


Denuvo DRM is coming to Nintendo Switch

The wildly unpopular digital rights management software known as Denuvo could be coming to Nintendo Switch in the near future. The company behind this program, Irdeto, has always denied the claims, but many players have complained that Denuvo causes poor performance, at least on PC. According to Irdeto, “Nintendo consoles have long suffered from piracy issues and the Switch is no different. Even if a game on the PC version is protected from piracy, the released version on Switch can be emulated from day one and played on PC , bypassing the strong protection offered on the PC version, which can happen with any of the many games available on Switch.”

Gears Of War, Fortnite Pro Player Xcells Killed In Shooting Incident

The pro player known as Xcells recently died after a shooting incident at a private home in Boones Hill, Virginia. What exactly happened remains open to question, but the community comes together with condolences. The former caster for Epic Games called xSundown confirmed the news, noting that “my soul aches. I know you fought so many demons from your past and tried to become a better person. I will cherish the times we have to talk and watch you fight. No matter what, you didn’t deserve this.” The pro player’s many fans and followers have expressed similar sentiments.
