After claiming to sell 300,000 units of its first game through Steam, Coffee Stain Studios will be seen releasing Sanctum 2 in 2013. Now its predecessor might have been a PC exclusive, but the sequel has been confirmed to be under development for PC and ‘digital console platforms.’
While talking to Joystiq, game distributor Reverb Publishing, has disclosed that its team is hoping to delight Sanctum fans as well as new players with this upcoming title. Doug Kennedy, the CEO of this company, has also revealed to the website that the game’s developer is currently working ‘diligently’ to get the title ready for launch in 2013. However, a definite release window has not been announced as of yet.
“Sanctum has been a huge success on Steam for Coffee Stain Studios, and bringing the next version to console players as well as the PC market is a great next step to share this unique experience. We all have logged quite a few hours with Sanctum and can definitively say that what Coffee Stain has in store for Sanctum 2 will blow the minds of Sanctum fans and new gamers alike,” Ted Lange, executive producer for Reverb Publishing, told the website.
Meanwhile, gamers who still haven’t got their hands on the first title can grab it today on Steam, as it is currently selling at a discount of 66 percent, taking its price down to just 3.39 USD (approx. Rs. 166). This deal is only valid for today and will expire approximately in the next 11 hours (from the time of publishing). Sanctum is a first-person shooter, tower defense offering that includes support for four-player co-op.
There are still very few details about Sanctum 2, but we’ll keep fans posted about the latest developments around the game.
