Combit Studios planning River City Ransom sequel

A sequel to River City Ransom is on the way, courtesy of Combit Studios.

The NES game was produced by Techn?s Japan – a studio that closed well over a decade ago. While the original team won’t be working on the sequel, Combit Studios will be teaming up with Million, the company behind the GBA port of River City Ransom.

Combit Studios plans to begin a crowd-funding campaign sometime this summer. A release is planned for August 2014.

PC is the only confirmed platform for River City Ransom’s sequel currently, but additional platforms are “under consideration”. Perhaps we’ll see this one on the Wii U or 3DS next year then.
