Penumbra Expansion Revealed
Paradox Interactive today announced an expansion to Penumbra, their premier horror-adventure title. Independent team Frictional Games is behind the expansion, dubbed Requiem, which will tie up loose ends from previous installments and as Philip progresses he will encounter various characters from the past. The expansion will delve deeper into the world of the Tuurngait infection and personalities from the previous two games.
“We believed very strongly in this team and their skills from the start and now that the Penumbra series has become such a hit worldwide, those who doubted have been proven wrong,” said Fredrik Wester, Executive Vice President for Paradox Interactive. “Therefore it was a no-brainer for us to sign this expansion, and we are convinced fans of the series will be equally excited about the news!”
The developer notes that there were quite a few unfinished ideas for features and storylines that they wanted to implement. This expansion is giving them the chance, notes Jens Nilsson, co-founder of Frictional Games.
Penumbra: Requiem will be a download only expansion and will be available exclusively via GamersGate. No release date was disclosed.
