Ritual's Levelord made a pretty lengthy .plan update today to followup on the announcement of the Ritual split yesterday, where he jokingly mentioned in one of his .plan updates that people could get some spare desks and computers for cheap from Ritual. They aren't actually offering anything. He also explains why Ritual split and why it's a good thing. However, he also mentions that there is a possibility that Ritual will start development on SiN 2, possibly this year already.

One last thing, ...SiN II. We have nothing but absolute desire to make SiN II. No one wants this more than we do! My guess is that it will happen, perhaps even this year. We are starting a very cool game right now, so it's hard to say. SiN is a Ritual property and unless someone wants to pay A LOT of money, it will always be a Ritual property ;) PLEASE STOP ASKING ME ABOUT SiN II for at least a little while!

Not too long ago, there was a petition where fans of the original SiN asked Ritual to make a sequel. The petition got some 3600 signatures, enough to make Ritual consider it it appears.
