Former Monolith CEO Speculates About the Future of Condemned Franchise
Jason Hall, former CEO and founder of Monolith Productions has posted an interesting message on his Facebook page regarding the popular Condemned Franchise.
The post read as follows
“Deep thought..and question…
I helped to create a video game console franchise called “Condemned.” I currently own the entire franchise.
There have been 2 game titles released for the franchise, “Condemned: Criminal Origins” and “Condemned: Bloodshot” – they both did well, and I am consistently asked when a third game might be created.
Since I am focused on other things, and will be for quite some time, this franchise is just sitting there.
I am contemplating finding an interested and proven Indie development team AND PROVIDING IT TO THEM, so that they can take over the franchise and move it forward.
As an indie, it can be very hard to get marketing/media attention for a title that you work on. This franchise is already quite known, has market demand, and is in an innovative genre/category.
Should I explore this idea further? What say you all?”
It is clear that Jason is certainly open to the idea of Condemned recieving a new lease of life from an interested third party.
The series was certainly well received at the time of release.
Of course, this could be simply a post to ascertain if any developer would be interested in taking the game series forward.
There is certainly an eager fanbase out there that would grab at the chance to play another Condemned game.
We shall wait, fists at the ready, until further news appears from Mr Hall.

I've been writing on and off for Godisageek for almost two years now. Mostly you'll find me playing something Souls related but have a liking for Driving and Platform Games. I have a soft spot for AC Syndicate though. When I'm not playing something electronic, you'll find me playing boardgames instead which has required me to speak to people on a face to face basis and also review them for here too.
I'm still drawing people as various videogame characters and striving to finish the To Do List. It's getting there. Slowly..
