It's not that strange for a developer to announce plans for a sequel to a successful game. It's not even that unusual for a publisher to make it clear that it intends to turn a
successful game into a successful franchise, either. Somewhat rarer is the announcement of a planned sequel to an unpublished game without the backing of a major publisher. Enter Blade Interactive which, in an
interview with PS3 Attitude, made it known that it has sequel plans for its upcoming water-filled survival adventure game,
Hydrophobia. Whereas the first takes place on the Queen of the World, a huge floating city, the second game will take place in "a drowned Boston."
The first game,
lest you've forgotten, is being touted in particular for its impressive water physics. It all sounds very intriguing, let's hope the first game ... ahem ...
makes a splash so that the story penned for the sequel doesn't have to go to waste.
