System Shock 3 may be cancelled, core team no longer on project
A surprising bit of news has been revealed about System Shock 3 this week. The series has been on hiatus since 1999, and the news that there was finally a sequel in the works was met with equal parts joy and skepticism. Despite the long delay though, fans remained hopeful. System Shock 3 has not
Overkill has good and bad news about Payday 2 console port.
After the news broke that Starbreeze was back in the game, so to speak, after reconstruction saw them bouncing back financially, fans were excited. The fusion of Overkill and Starbreeze quickly provided updates on their most iconic property, the heist-them-up Payday series. The company already put out some new content, a new heist in Mexico,
Starbreeze exits reconstruction, aims for more Payday
After the last few years, Swedish studio and publisher Starbreeze looked like they were dead in the water. Despite the major success of some of their games, notably Payday 2, many other ventures flopped. A major investment in a VR project dubbed StarVR never got off the ground. The VR firm operated in partnership with
Payday 2 is getting a new heist, Border Crossing
Starbreeze and Overkill hasn’t had the easiest few months. Following the major success of criminal enterprise and heist movie sim, Payday, both companies have failed to capture another commercial hit. The publisher made a series of business deals to try and bring in more cash flow, but these deals mostly floundered. The big blow came
Starbreeze is planning to release Payday 3 in 2022 or 2023
Remember the Swedish company Starbreeze? Yes, that company behind the Chronicles of Riddick games and the original Darkness. They had a few good years in the early 2000’s, but things don’t look so picture-perfect these days. The major projects released by the studio have been met with increasing apathy over the last five years or
Starbreeze is laying off 60 workers, 25% of its workforce
The history of Swedish publisher/developer Starbreeze and their continued floundering attempts to stay afloat are long and complicated. The troubles go back far before where we find ourselves today though. As the company sees millions of dollars in failed investments and projects going out the door, with the most notable of these being the maligned
Starbreeze is somehow still committed to Overkill’s The Walking Dead
Anyone who’s paying attention knows that Swedish company Starbreeze is in trouble. OTWD (Overkill’s The Walking Dead) has been an issue from the beginning. With the massive amount of production issues, and a ton of financial losses in 2018 and previous years, the company has been on the rocks for a while. The company lost
Overkill’s The Walking Dead cancelled on consoles, PC content also canned
Starbreeze and Overkill have had a lot of trouble over the years. Since their early success with The Chronicles of Riddick and a few other games, the intertwined companies have failed to capture much success. The only real exception to this being the pair of excellent shooter titles in the PayDay franchise. So it seemed
Starbreeze sheds publishing rights for System Shock 3
So it turns out that Starbreeze is still having trouble. The company admitted to selling off the publishing rights for System Shock 3 to another company, in this case it’s OtherSide Entertainment. The company published a statement on its website indicating the change. Starbreeze’s acting CEO, Mikael Nermark, said that the decision was ‘mutually agreed’
Overkill’s The Walking Dead was doomed from the start
According to a new, and extremely thorough, report from Eurogamer, Overkill’s The Walking Dead was doomed before it even got started. The reasons for the ultimate failure of the game and subsequent collapse of Starbreeze are many, but we will attempt to go through some of them here. One of the biggest issues with Overkill’s
Swedish ECO authorities raid Starbreeze offices, arrest one
The saga of the breakdown of Starbreeze and their subsidiaries just got a lot weirder. After the financial failure that was Overkill’s The Walking Dead, the company has been working to recover and keep their head above water. The team has also continued supporting The Walking Dead, as they just released the first batch of
Season Two of Overkill’s The Walking Dead begins
Starbreeze has unveiled the next phase of content for the recently released Overkill’s The Walking Dead. This new batch of DLC will take on an episodic structure, with each episode tying into the larger narrative by adding in new missions and gameplay elements to the cooperative zombie shooter. The game unfortunately needs an injection of
Starbreeze Studios has filed for reconstruction
It would seem that things are even worse than we could have predicted over at Starbreeze Studios in Sweden. The company already detailed that poor sales from their latest game have left them in a difficult bind, but things are worse than they appear apparently. The company has admitted that they will be out of
Starbreeze tightening the belt after Overkill’s The Walking Dead flounders
Starbreeze Studio’s board of directors has announced that revenue projections for Overkill’s The Walking Dead have fallen short of expectations. This means that the company will have to reduce costs over the next year to keep the company running smoothly. The official press release details how the company is delaying reporting some revenue in order
Overkill’s The Walking Dead delayed on PS4 and Xbox One
It looks like Overkill’s The Walking Dead has hit even more issues. The Ps4 and Xbox One versions of the game will miss their November 6, 2018 launch in North America and November 8, 2018 release in Europe, due to issues with polish and a dispute with the console rights holder. This revelation comes from
