CI Games says it will follow a "similar production model" to Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts.
Whether it's their atmosphere, combat or mechanics, these games carry that unmistakeable Souls-like charm.
CI Games says the quality of work was "lower than expected"; Defiant Studios responds.
A new studio is resetting development on the sequel and will use a new engine.
Don't expect it anytime soon though.
Studio lead Marek Tyminski also talks about Deck 13 not being involved.
Following a decent run by the original, concepts and vision for the sequel are underway.
