During a keynote address at the GDC conference, Ngmoco CEO Neil Young revealed the company’s plans for more Rolando level packs, two sequels, and a collaboration with Secret Exit. Young said the company plans on releasing three more level packs for Rolando between now and the end of May, bringing the total number of add-on levels to 20, with Rolando 2 following with a June release. It will feature four worlds with 36 levels, and will see a similar level pack expansion with 20 extra levels by October. Young also announced Rolando 3 for a November release; it should see similar level packs released thereafter. Finally, Young said that Ngmoco and Zen Bound-creators Secret Exit are collaborating on a new game, utilizing the companies’ “super powers” in order to build on each other’s strengths.

I am really excited for the collaboration game, as this might let secret exit get the success it deserves. Also, the official announcement of rolando 2 and 3 are great, but I hope we are paying for new gameplay, not just new levels. Rolando is the best platformer available, but if there aren’t new types of rolandos, or at least very challenging levels, I won’t be as enthusiastic.
