Well, now this is one piece of amazing news. In a recent AMA (Ask me Anything) Reddit post by user u/VashxShanks, the developers at Rabbit & Bear Studio received several questions regarding the future of the studio, as well as if there are any plans of a sequel title, despite the sad news of Yoshitaka Murayama’s passing.
When approached about plans for a potential sequel, the studio said the following:
Absolutely! We are moving forward with a sequel. It is very sad that [Yoshitaka] Murayama is not with us anymore, but we have discussed many things with him. I hope we will be able to carry on Murayama’s legacy, and I always want to treasure his last work. I hope many people will support this game.
