MercurySteam never started Lords of Shadow 2 on Wii U, not about budget constraints

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 won’t be hitting Wii U – at least for the foreseeable future. But it has nothing to do with budget constraints, as some reports have suggested.
Producer David Cox took to Twitter and clarified comments published by Eurogamer earlier today. Cox had told the publication that a Wii U version wasn’t in the cards due to a lack of resources. What he meant by this is that MercurySteam would need more staffers and time – not additional funds.
“Can I just say the story about CVLOS2 not coming to WiiU due to budget constraints is utter bullshit. What I said was its a question of resource (people, time, space etc) and focus on what we are already doing”.
Cox also confirmed that Lords of Shadow 2 was never in development for Wii U at any point. Thus, the game was never cancelled for the console.
“Oh and we never cancelled the WiiU version because we never started a WiiU version for the reasons I just gave…”
