The game is out soon and thoughts turn to the future. What are your plans for post Sniper?

Jason Kingsley: Obviously we're very keen to do a sequel, very very keen to do Sniper Elite 3. We've got some early plans for that and the team's very keen to move on, which is great. We haven't got any more details we're willing to share at this stage on that, apart from the massive enthusiasm for it.

We're self funding the PC version of Sniper Elite 2. So we're going to continue to support that over the next year as we supported the original game. We maintained all of the servers for the fans for five years with our own money, because we wanted to keep the fanbase alive and show them the respect that we obviously want them on side.

We're also expanding into other areas. So we're doing a little bit of self publishing. We're looking at iOS titles. We're looking at the free-to-play world, taking our advanced technology for ways of making games and trying to get a bigger worldwide audience for our games more directly. Judge Dredd vs. Zombies, which is our first iOS title, which is out. We're looking at other platforms for that.

So, we know the industry is changing. I love big games. I've always loved PC games myself. Bizarrely enough now I play a lot of games on PC myself. And then when I'm at home I play games on Xbox and iPad. I've been exploring the iPad world, and there are some really great novelty titles there. There hasn't yet been a game that's drawn me in like Sniper Elite or Aliens vs. Predator in the same immersive way. It's a wider, more expanding market.

What's particularly exciting is we can address the hardcore gamers, who are our typical fans, but also we can look at games for a broader audience as well. I don't know there are going to be many mums sitting at home who will be playing a game like Sniper Elite. It's not the demographic we're going for, the soccer mums. We're targeting proper gamers, the traditional gamer demographic we as a company have always worked with and for. But we're also looking at games for a wider audience, for people who are maybe more casual, who don't self identify as a gamer. It's something they do but they wouldn't say, 'yeah, I'm a gamer. That's my hobby.' So all sorts of challenges. But the industry is in a bit of a whirl at the moment.

Do you intend to continue with 505 Games for Sniper Elite 3 or will you self publish?

Jason Kingsley: We've done a half self-publishing and a half working with 505. They're very keen to work with us. We're very keen to work with them. But nothing is decided. We haven't even decided when the game's going to be set. What we have decided is we really want to come back to Sniper Elite.

Do you intend to release it for PC and current-gen or PC and next-gen?
