Cause the first game bombed, sadly. Man, I bought it on launch and loved it, then rushed to get a PSP in time for Advent Shadow, then it was all cancelled!No Advent Shadow. I cried tears of sadness for many nights after that. :(
In early 2008 they were developing a digitally distributed game based on Ender's Game, and maybe an original IP called Empire, which Orson Scott Card helped to flesh out with a novel, in 2006, so I don't know what's going on with that. Then they were bought by Epic, so who knows what's going on with anything.
The fact that it was incredibly hyped, sold like poo, wasn't anywhere near to what was promised, and made baby Jesus cry......I doubt we'll see a sequel. But boy, those were some awesome sound effects. The footsteps sounded so real, awesome.
Advent Rising was afun game despite the never ending constant bugs and glitches. I was also digging the universe a lot too. The reason there is no Advent Rising 2 was because Majesco the games developer went bankrupt. Actually Advent Rising 2 was already in production for the PSP of all things as the trilogy was supposed to have 2 Xbox titles and a PSP title (odd mixture?) and it was to be titled Advent Shadow not Advent Rising 2. If you do some digging there were screen shots and even box art floating around but as soon as Majesco went belly up it was all gone and no hope of coming back.
Thought the game was good, and it did have its bugs and glitches Majesco and their parent company not sure who it was put stupid advertising in it, and a stupid contest that left alot of people pissed off. Its one of the reasons majesco went belly up i wish they had sold the rights to psychonauts to someone id love to see a sequal to that game.
