So if there are any sequels they will be Xbox/PC exclusive, is the only take on this. I do hope they continue the franchise, it's great!
Well deserved, it is an excellent game.
I would hope they would, they own the studio and IP now.
next game is xbox xclusive but could make its way to switch hahaha!
Hopefully they have a much larger team and budget this time. As the game was good, but followed a simple mission structure loop.
