SiN Episodes Officially On Hold

January 30th, 2007 by Tobias Dahl in Action, Articles, Business, PC, Software

After Ritual Entertainment was acquired by Mumbo Jumbo, the future of SiN Episodes was unclear. Today the series have officially been put on hold, as the first episode, Emergence, simply didn’t sell enough copies to finance a sequel. Ritual co-founder Richard Gray said:

“The first episode did well, but not good enough to completely self-fund the second episode. We did continue with Episode 2, but we had to stop a few months ago due to a funding problem.”

Last week Mumbo Jumbo CEO Mark Cottom said that both Ritual and Mumbo Jumbo would focus on causal games, but didn’t say whether SiN was completely canned or not. Certainly at this point, it appears that SiN Episodes is no more, as the whole concept of episodic content is looking to fail (except Valve’s own HL2 Episodes, naturally). Gray did add that they’re working on casual games for both the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, so we’ll certainly see Ritual again.
