Speaking to Ritualistic, Ritual Entertainment’s online community hub, Gray has spoken frankly about the future of the SiN franchise.

The first episode did well, but not good enough to completely self-fund the second episode. It sold over 150,000 units, which is better than many shooters. It more than paid for itself, but not enough to entirely fund the next one,” said Gray.

Gray continues, “We did continue with Episode 2, but we had to stop a few months ago due to a funding problem. Making games is fun, but it isn’t easy, …especially for an independent developer!

All is not lost though, with Gray not ruling out a return to the cult series in the future.

What we plan to do right now, both Ritual and MumboJumbo, is establish ourselves in the casual gaming market with strong new franchises and then return to SiN at a later date,” said Gray. “We love SiN, make no mistake, and we definitely want to return to it.

Gray firmly believes that “SiN will find a home here at the new Ritual.
