Ritual Acquired, SiN Episodes In Doubt

Ritual Entertainment was recently acquired by Mumbo Jumbo, who’s CEO, Mark Cottam, ironically used to be the CEO of Ritual. He stated that Ritual will, together with Mumbo Jumbo, focus on casual games, and not first person shooters like SiN Episodes. He said:
“The idea of acquiring Ritual was to have them strengthen our development in the casual genre and not to have them involved at all in the action style games. If there’s an opportunity to have them do something on the SiN Episodes, we would look at that, but that will not be the focus of the company.”
SiN Episodes: Emergency (read our review here) was released last summer as the first episode of many (so they promised), but the two-hour singleplayer campaign and no multiplayer didn’t even justify its original $20 price tag (the game currently costs $10 on Steam). Maybe the ending of SiN was a decent decision, as the game didn’t sell well either.
