a failure as it needed to sell over 3 million copies to break even. Future A sequel was in pre-development according to an inside developer, but the company filed for bankruptcy after a missed loan payment, which left the IP in the hands of the taxpayers of Rhode Island. According to the 38 Studios founder Curt Schilling, the governor of Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee, calling the game "a failure" caused a publisher to pull out of a $35 million deal that could have paid for a sequel. On September 6, 2018 THQ Nordic bought the rights to the franchise, as well as the assets of Project Copernicus, from 38 Studios. In relation to the original game, THQ Nordic stated that the publishing rights still belonged to Electronic Arts. THQ Nordic announced plans to release a remastered version in September 2020 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the port developed by Kaiko, who had previously done remasters of the Darksiders series. The remastered edition includes all previously released DLC and was released on 8 September 2020.
