Will AFL Live have a sequel

[Adelaide Cows]

The most anticipated game of last year for AFL nuts was no doubt AFL Live. The final product was good, and even its imperfections were overlooked as the product showed enough potential that it would become very good over time.

So a year on is there another game in the works, will the potential be realised, or because of the small market for this type of game will it be something that is only revisted every 5 years or so.

Very likely. Ross has stated multiple times that they didn't make a profit off this game, and considered it more of an investment. It may not be this year, but I'd consider it a pretty safe bet that we'll see another.

Just hope this dosent stall momentum. I wouldnt have expected a profit in its first year having to build a game up from scratch, but future years with smaller updates to such things as ongoing seasons and even sock hights (lol) would have kept people coming back for more.

Lets face it FIFA have being doing it for years.

With the advent of GWS this year the game is a history lesson, and therefore would have been a must for most gamers to put their hand in their pocket again.

That being said I cant see Big Ants books and the next outlay may be too much for a yearly release. Also dont want to be seen as a knocker as I think they have done a great job on the product so far.

As SS said, Ross had predicted to not make a profit on the first title. And we know they've already been working on at least improvements towards the next title.

There will be another at the very least to see how it goes, if it bombs (which is doubtful considering this AFL Live was the highest selling AFL title ever) then that would be it.

I'm expecting some news towards the end of the season regarding a potential release.
