Grubb stated Motive was engaged on a remake of Useless House 2 earlier than it was shelved following lackluster gross sales of final 12 months’s Useless House remake, and EA says that’s not true. Sadly, we’ll doubtless by no means know the true story right here, however in case you have been holding out hope for a remake of Useless House 2, it’s not taking place for now it appears.
For what’s it’s price, we requested Useless House remake artistic director Roman Campos-Oriola about the potential for a Useless House 2 remake in an interview carried out just a few weeks after the sport’s launch. His response: “…we’ll see how the sport performs, what the corporate needs, what the studio needs, what we as a crew we need to do, and we’ll determine it out from there. However for the second, there’s no particular plan outlined.”
