Warren Spector, the creative mind behind Deus Ex andSystem Shock, is currently working on a brand-new immersive sim at OtherSide Entertainment. Spector played a key role in the production of Looking Glass Studios' System Shock, the seminal first-person immersive sim that essentially laid the groundwork for titles such as BioShock and Dishonored. However, many would argue that Deus Ex constitutes Spector's most notable work to date.

While the future of both franchises presently seems unknown to a certain degree, it's clear the spirit of the immersive sim genre will continue to live on. Fortunately for fans of the genre, Warren Spector has decided he wants to help carry the torch once again.
