Night Dive is developing a full remake of the original System Shock, going well beyond the basic rerelease that launched a couple months ago. Night Dive has acquired the full rights to the franchise, and Kick says he’s been working with Robert Waters, the game's original concept artist, to reimagine his designs from the early 1990s.[...] We may even see a System Shock 3 someday, though Night Dive would need a larger publisher to take on the task. Kuperman says the company is "having some conversations" on this front.

TLDR: Half-Life 3 still not confirmed.

PARIS--France's Vivendi SA said Friday it had sold its remaining shares in Activision Blizzard Inc. to an unnamed financial institution for US$1.1 billion, taking advantage of the rise in the videogames group's share price in the past year.

The French pay-television and music group said it would gain another $400 million by recovering a cash deposit in the transaction.

"The decision to implement these transactions was taken in view of the evolution of the Activision Blizzard stock price," Vivendi said. The stock has risen more than 90% in the past year.
Vivendi sold its controlling stake in Activision Blizzard, a powerhouse in console videogames with hit franchises such as "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft," two years ago, but had kept 5.7% of the videogame company's shares.

Vivendi, its cash reserves bolstered by a series of other asset sales in the past two years, has recently re-invested in the videogames sector, acquiring stakes in French game publishers Ubisoft Entertainment SA and Gameloft SE.

Vivendi, the owner of Universal Music Group and TV company Canal Plus, has also acquired a large stake in Telecom Italia, Italy's former national telecom monopoly.
