InXile Entertainment’s President Matt Findley has told GamerZines that he "already knows what Hunted 2 would look like", despite the first game not being due for release until June.
"The first one is the real hard one," said Findley talking to us last week about his plans for the future of Hunted.
"We know exactly what works in our game and we know what we wished we could do if we had more time. I already know what Hunted 2 would look like in my head completely from beginning to end. I’ve already written the outline, I already have a story, and I’ve already given my story to my dialogue writer to flesh things out.
"We would love to do more of these. I’d like to do one after that and one after that. You look at what Gears has done. Gears 1 went out and had really big success, and Gears 2 was bigger and Gears 3 is going to be even bigger than that.
"With a new IP you really hope your publisher is down with the program because it takes multiple incarnations to really realise the full potential of the franchise. I’d like to be making Hunted games for the next ten years."
But despite his enthusiasm for the series, Findley wouldn’t confirm whether a sequel had already been green-lit or not, instead suggesting that the commercial success of the first one will be the deciding factor.
"In today’s world it just comes down to money," he said. "It’s always going to.
"We like to pretend we’re in the fine art business, but sometimes maybe we’re just painting houses."
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is the latest creation from Findley and ex-Interplay CEO Brian Fargo.
The third-person fantasy-action game follows the adventures of Caddoc and E’lara as they fight against a mysterious force plaguing the land, and is essentially Gears of War meets Lord of the Rings. Which is to say, it’s pretty good.
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge launches in the UK on June 3rd on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
