People have been wondering why there has not been much word on the fate of Penny Arcade Adventures. The first two chapters in the episodic adventure-RPG series from developer Hothead Games came out in 2008 but since then there's been no word on when the third chapter in the series will be released. Now a new Gamasutra interview may have found the reason for the delay.

Hothead's CEO Ian Wilkinson stated that while the first two chapters in Penny Arcade Adventures (based on the Penny Arcade web comic strip) got solid critical notices, "The Penny Arcade series didn't sell as well as we would have liked." He added, "With Penny Arcade, yes, a lot of people knew about it, but we just couldn't transition those people into buyers." There are hints that we will finally learn something about the third chapter in the series at PAX East later in March.
