Silicon Knights to Expand Operations; Too Human Rumored for Release in May

January 30, 2008 12:18 PM

Silicon Knights is looking to expand their Niagara, Ontario offices as part of a newly announced plan to jump-start the ailing, formerly industrial economy of the region, according to the Welland Tribune.

The studio is planning to add 80 new employees to its current workforce of 165. The boost is part of a plan called nGen, meant to establish a "new-media incubator" to reinvigorate the Niagara economy and retain skilled citizens from leaving the region for more lucrative opportunities elsewhere.

Silicon Knights' Too Human (X360) is scheduled for release on May 6 according to this week's GameStop newsletter, ending an infamously lengthy development period reaching as far back as the PlayStation era. The new release date sets Too Human just one week after Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, X360).

Any chance a PC port is in the works? I think a game like this would do pretty well with the aRPG crowd.

  Highly doubtful to say the least. SK has never exactly been active in the PC realm.

    Even if it did happen... it would probably come so late in the game... that 360 owners will be playing the second game already. Or maybe 720 owners playing the second game?
