The group has debated on the creation of a sequel for a while, however sadly the stakes are excessive and there aren’t sufficient assets to realize what the group would need the sequel to be, and the sequel you’ll deserve. After listening to so many opinions on what you’d like a attainable Temtem 2 to be; we really feel like we shouldn’t rush ourselves and make the identical errors we’ve made up to now, and even within the current. If we ever have been to do that, we’d want to have the ability to produce a product and circulation of content material that every one of you might get pleasure from and like to the utmost. Such a product continues to be out of our grasp and attain: we’re merely not prepared. We’re, as a studio, too small to embark on the feat we’d like Temtem 2 to be; we don’t presently have the technical information, the time nor the flexibility to deliver these concepts to life.”
