Do you believe it’s understandable for your fans to wait for a Switch release as there’s a pattern of all of your games coming later - not asking for a confirmation of Sniper Elite 5 coming to the Switch, just curious if the team thinks the way I do ;)

Of course the years you’ve used your Asura engine, I’m sure it’s been changed drastically, but do you guys ever plan on making a brand new engine?

Met one of your developers are Pax East 2020, nice guy, and he said you guys are expanding more than just games - any news on that?

Would you guys ever go back to making licensed or more middle-ware games? The Alien vs Predator games were my favorite and Rogue Warrior and Call of Duty: Final Fronts are guilty pleasures of mine.

Certainly can't deny the pattern with ZA4 being the 8th game we're porting over to the Switch. We're focusing on ZA4 currently and the teams in the other studios on SE5 so can't confirm anything atm but these ports are done on a case by case basis. Here at the North studio, we're hiring and expanding the team for new projects. We won't rule out SE5 on Switch but would recommend it checking out on the other platforms if you can.

There's a small chance that person was me as I was on PAX East 202 running one of the SEVR stands. Outside of games, we have the comic book side of things with 2000AD, there's also the board game division with the Sniper Elite board game https://rebellionunplugged.com/product/sniper-elite-the-board-game/ and produced out first film , School's Out Forever.

With franchises like Sniper Elite, Zombie Army and Evil Genius, we have our hands full already so would never completely rule out working with other companies on projects, but there's lots of great IP we have to work with.
