Sequel A technical demonstration video for the sequel, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident 2, was leaked to the Internet in 2006. On August 16, 2011 Most Wanted Entertainment announced a sequel, named Nexus 2, on the crowdfunding website GamesPlant with a funding goal of €400,000. The €104,867 pledged fell short of the €400,000 goal. In 2012 the original Nexus was digitally re-released on GOG.com. On September 28, 2012 a second campaign on Kickstarter was launched to fund the development of a sequel named Nexus 2: The Gods Awaken, but ultimately failed to raise the required amount, with only $161,731 of the $650,000 goal. Legacy Nordic Games announced that they acquired the intellectual property on September 16, 2015. In March 2016 a patch was released for the game fixing long-standing issues, like widescreen support. Reception The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. It was praised particularly for its visual effects, but criticized for its steep learning curve, trial-and-error gameplay, and poorly designed stealth missions. According to NPD Group, Nexus sold 11,500 copies by June 2005.
