Nightdive studio head Stephen Kick and director of business development Larry Kuperman said they were still hopeful they could one day remaster the game despite recent developments.
“I don’t think we really know how that’s going to shake out,” Kuperman said. “I think that’s too recent an event, and I’m not sure.”
When asked if he was particularly frustrated that Nightdive hasn’t yet been able to preserve one of Monolith’s games now that it’s been closed down, Kuperman stressed that the situation wasn’t yet unsalvageable.
“There’s a certain challenge to that, but again, I’m not sure how that whole thing is going to shake out at this point, and I’m still optimistic on that,” he replied.
“That was the word I was going to use too, because any time that there’s just a general kind of shift in the industry, it does open some windows every once in a while for that kind of stuff,” Kick added. “So optimism is kind of where we’re at. I think that there’s at least a potential for something good to come out of that, but I don’t know. It’s too recent. I don’t want to keep on falling back on that.”
When asked if this meant they weren’t giving up on their attempt to remaster the game, Kick replied: “Never give up. We don’t give up.”
