July 01, 2004 - Vivendi Universal Games is strongly considering a sequel to The Chronicles of Rid****: Escape from Butcher Bay, but nothing is in the works just yet, IGN learned today. According to an article published in Variety magazine, VU Games' President Phil O'Neil said that his company is looking into sequels in the future, which obviously includes the very successful The Chronicles of Rid****: Escape from Butcher Bay.
"The critical and sales success of The Chronicles of Rid****: Escape from Butcher Bay makes it clear that we should certainly entertain the notion of a sequel, but at this time there is no such product in development," a VU Games spokesperson told IGN today.
There is very good reason to believe, however. In just one month, the well-received Xbox exclusive game sold more than 100,000 units in North American alone, with a foreseeable $15 million coming in to VU Games. That doesn't even include Europe, where neither the game nor the movie have launched. The movie, on the other hand, didn't receive the same kind of love, making only $53 million worldwide, after a $140 million production and marketing budget.
We'll have more on The Chronicles of Rid**** soon enough.
all I can say is multiplayer... :whistle:
