Når du hører navnene Earthworm Jim, MDK, Messiah, ringer der sikkert en klokke. Hvis ikke, er det fordi Interplat Entertainment har siddet i så mange årtier på disse titler, at de ikke længere opdages af de yngre generationer.
Om Interplay Entertainment er ved at lukke ned, vides ikke, men udvikleren sælger nu over 70 af deres klassiske spilserier, ifølge GlobeNewswire.
Chefen for Interplay Entertainment Eric Caen har følgende udtalt:
"Interplay has entertained millions of players with its well-recognized games, including Earthworm Jim, Freespace, Giants, Kingpin, Messiah, MDK, Run Like Hell, Sacrifice, Battlechess, Clayfighter, Dark Alliance, and Descent. As game creators, we are proud of the entertainment these properties have provided over the years. With the proliferation of mobile, augmented reality, virtual reality and other new forms of consumption, we believe that consumers are ready to experience and interact with Interplay's characters, stories and game play in ways never possible before. We look forward to seeing how this unique portfolio of interactive entertainment icons will evolve for the worldwide audience,"
Får vi mon efterfølgere til de gamle klassikkere?
