Lethal Company 2 in the Works? Here’s What Zeekerss Has to Say About His Hit Game and What’s in the Works

When Lethal Company exploded Zeekerss into stardom, many people, myself incuded, expected a full send of the game. The first few months showed people what Zeekerss could do and the potential this game had. However, those updates that had everyone enamored by the game stopped. It was understandable. Zeekerss is a one-man team, and he wanted to focus on other games at the time. Now Zeekerss has had a chance to sit down with GamesRadar+ to update us on things and what he’s got planned for Lethal Company in the future.

Zeekerss Interview on Lethal Company

Zeekerss sat down with GamesRadar+ in an email interview discussing his work on his new text adventure game, Welcome to the Dark Place, and if he had any plans on updating Lethal Company. Here’s the full interview:

“I haven’t had anyone ask me about a sequel to Lethal Company, but I know people really want more updates to it! It’s still in early access because I have a lot left to do. As for Lethal Company 2, I have a vision for what that ought to be, and it surpasses my own ambition.”

“In the future, if I become bold enough to gather a team to work with me, it could happen, but I’m more excited by the idea of working on other ideas solo,” 

“But actually, this project has made me realize that I really enjoy making mechanics in normal games, because that feels like it has a lot more variety and challenges in the process,”

 “For Welcome To The Dark Place, instead of mechanics, there are rules and conventions and patterns, which I invented in my head and simply choose to follow. One such rule is that the player must always be able to listen to doors before opening them. In a normal game, that would be a hard-coded ability, a button the player can always press; but here, I am always in complete control of whatever the player is able to do.”

“After Lethal Company, I have a good handful of ideas for games, some big and some little,”

“I have an itch to make a sequel or spiritual successor to The Upturned, a game using motion controls with two hands to interact with the environment, a party game collection in the same vein as Wii Play, an open-world stealth game about being hunted across a vast distance, and a game involving a car. But for now my attention is going to be on finishing Lethal Company.”

Final Thoughts

So for now, Zeekerss wants to expand his horizons and finish Lethal Company. It’s not that he didn’t want to put any effort into Lethal Company anymore; however, he has a lot to do for the game, and even has a vision for a sequel to the hit co-op game. But we should let Zeekerss be Zeekerss. All we can do is wait and see what Zeekerss decides to do next.
