The CFO of Silicon Knights confirmed that "The company is currently refocusing and returning to its roots, working on one of its most requested titles for the next generation." This could very well be Eternal Darkness 2 or another Blood Omen. In fact what other most requested title could Silicon Possibly be referring too?

Facts to support this idea.

-In April of this year Nintendo renewed the trademark for Eternal Darkness.

-Nintendo still owns shares of Silicon Knights despite ending their formal relationship.

-Dyack founder of Silicon Knights stated "There is a chance; we love all the games we work on. We don't want to be pigeon-holed [into a genre], we want to be known for strong content...There's a strong chance we'll return to it, but there's no announcements yet." when asked if their will be an Eternal Darkness 2.

-Rumors supposedly from leaks within Nintendo have stated Eternal Darkness 2 is a launch title for WiiU. Some suggest Retro is making it but by judging from Silicon's recent statements they would most likely be the ones behind it.

So what do you think Eternal Darkness 2 for WiiU? Is that awesome or what? Or do you think the comment was refering to Blood Omen?

Given that they are only 25 employees I doubt they can develop any of those, unless it's a WiiUWare title.


They still have 52 or so people working at the studio, atleast that's what it says in the OP. They only laid off 40 people instead of 72

My bad, I didn't see the update. But even with 52 I doubt they can do any of these games in time for WiiU's launch.
