The first teaser for System Shock 3 has arrived. Developer Warren Spector revealed the trailer during Unity’s Game Developers Conference keynote today in San Francisco.

You can check out the eerie teaser in the video below from Boston-based developer OtherSide.

Spector produced the original System Shock game back in the ’90s when he was working for Looking Glass Technologies. He joined OtherSide back in 2016.

“Working on System Shock was one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done in my career and it’s hard to describe how much I’m looking forward to sharing with players what SHODAN has been up to since the last game was released,” Spector said.

OtherSide is headed up by Paul Neurath, who worked on the original System Shock with Spector at Looking Glass. The first System Shock was released in 1994, with sequel System Shock 2 arriving in 1999, so it’s been quite a while since the latest mainline entry.

An enhanced edition of System Shock from Nightdive Studios was released in 2015. No release date has been announced for System Shock 3, nor do we know what platforms it’s headed to.

Following the announcement of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for PC, many wondered if the title would be included in the Xbox Play Anywhere program. As it turns out, it won’t.

Halo studio head Bonnie Ross recently confirmed during a livestream that it won’t be an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so those who bought it on Xbox One will have to buy it again if they want to play on PC. That being said, Ross teased that those who buy it twice may get some bonuses.

“While MCC shipped before the XPA Play Anywhere, we are exploring ways to make sure that we show our appreciation and recognition for the support we’ve had from the amazing fans on MCC and we’ll have more to announce as we get closer to launch,” she said during an HCS stream recently (via Kotaku).

Xbox Play Anywhere is a program that Microsoft announced in 2016 that lets you buy select digital games on Xbox One or PC and get a copy on the other system at no extra cost. All progress and saves carry between platforms, so it’s a nice way to … play anywhere. There are dozens of games in the Xbox Play Anywhere catalog now, including Cuphead, Crackdown 3, Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War 4, and many others.

Also during the broadcast, community director Brian Jarrard confirmed Halo: MCC won’t support cross-play between PC and Xbox One at launch, though this feature could come later if the community wants it and if it makes sense for the studio. While there is no cross-play between Xbox One and PC, people who buy MCC on Steam and the Microsoft Store can play together.

Finally, 343 confirmed it will hold a Reddit AMA on March 19 where it will answer questions about Halo: MCC on PC, the newly announced Halo Insider Program, and more.

Halo: MCC is coming to PC later this year, beginning with Halo: Reach, which is also headed to Xbox One. On PC, the releases will follow individually, for separate purchase, in chronological order: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4.

Activision is bringing a new Call of Duty game to mobile devices, and now what appears to be the first trailer for the title has come online. The game, which appears to be simply titled Call of Duty: Mobile, is a free-to-play game that promises “heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled action of Call of Duty with you wherever you go.”

The game features “multiple game modes” across a number of different maps, including popular ones like Nuketown and Crash. According to Activision, the game is “optimised for mobile,” but it’s not exactly clear what that means in practice. At the end of the video, it appears Activision is teasing a battle royale mode, but it’s not confirmed at this stage.

Call of Duty: Mobile also includes weapons and characters from previous Call of Duty games, including Black Ops and Modern Warfare. However, it’s described as a standalone game that is not directly connected to any previous entry.

Activision is making Call of Duty: Mobile with “high-end” phones in mind, but the studio is also working to allow it to be “broadly accessible for as many other devices as well.”

Call of Duty: Mobile is coming to Android and iOS, and you can pre-register now. Signing up gets you access to the opportunity to earn in-game rewards and learn about upcoming beta tests, which are set to begin later this year.

Last year, Activision announced a new Call of Duty mobile game for China that it was developing alongside Tencent. This is that same game, developed by Tencent’s studio Timi, but now it’s being expanded to other regions like North America, South America, Europe, and other places.

Call of Duty: Mobile isn’t the only new Call of Duty title coming this year. This year’s mainline instalment is on the way, and it’s expected to feature a campaign mode which is notable since 2018’s Black Ops 4 left it out. The game is rumoured to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from developer Infinity Ward, but this is not confirmed.

As part of Netflix’s push to make more choose-your-own adventure style TV shows, the company has partnered with outdoorsman Bear Grylls for a new program.

The show is called “You vs. Wild,” and it premieres on April 10. “Viewers join survival expert Bear Grylls on exciting adventures all over the world. Dense jungles, towering mountains, brutal deserts, and mysterious forests await, with tough decisions around every corner,” reads a line from the press release announcing the show.

Viewers make “all the decisions,” but we hope that whatever you choose, Grylls survives. There are eight episodes in You vs. Wild, all of which premiere on April 10.

Check out the interactive teaser video above to learn more about You vs. Wild.

Grylls served three years in the British Special Forces before going on to find mainstream success with his Discovery Channel show “Man vs. Wild,” which inspired the 2011 video game of the same name.

The new Bear Grylls show appears to be part of Netflix’s wider ambition to make more interactive shows after the success of the Black Mirror Bandersnatch episode.

Netflix VP Todd Yellin recently discussed Netflix’s ambitions to make more choose-your-own adventure shows.

“We’re doubling down on that,” Yellin said during an event in Mumbai recently as reported by Variety. “So expect over the next year or two to see more interactive storytelling. And it won’t necessarily be science fiction, or it won’t necessarily be dark. It could be a wacky comedy. It could be a romance, where the audience gets to choose–should she go out with him or him.”
