EndWar sequel coming; original sold more than recent PC RTS games
UbiSoft's release of Tom Clancy's EndWar (fall 2008 for consoles and March 2009 for the PC) got high marks for its voice command tech but low marks for its actual gameplay. However the game was apparently a big enough sales success that a sequel is in the works.
Chatting with VideoGamer.com, Ubisoft creative director Michael De Plater stated that they plan to improve the single player campaign and the depth for the sequel. While the follow-up does not yet have a release date, De Plater said that the original sold a respectible 1.5 million copies. He states, "We still sold more than Red Alert 3, sold more than Company of Heroes, sold more than World in Conflict." In fact only the console exclusive RTS game Halo Wars has sold more copies, according to De Plater. However he added, "For a strategy game that's a huge success. For a console game that's not such a big success."
