Frictional Games, the studio that brought you the unforgettable happy-fun-times of Penumbra, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Soma, revealed last year that it was working on not just one, but two new games. Releasing games more frequently, it explained at the time, meant that it wouldn't be so reliant on every project being a hit. In a new blog post, the studio shared an update on the state of both of its new projects, and also dug deeper into why the decision to take on two projects simultaneously was necessary.   

The post begins with a rundown of the success of Soma, which has now sold approximately 650,000 copies. That's "a very good result," but it also counts "every single download of the game as a sale," regardless of its source or price. Even so, it continues to generate enough revenue to keep Frictional in the black while it works on the new stuff.
