Just over ten years since its initial release, it has been revealed that a sequel to the hugely popular Garry’s Mod is in development and it will also support VR. However, it will not be called Garry’s mod 2.
The news came during an interview by PCGamesN with Garry Newman, the creator of Garry’s Mod and Rust. He was asked about whether or not he had considered raising the price of Garry’s Mod, which currently costs £7 ($10) on Steam. Having sold over six million copies since its release back in 2004, Newman revealed that it would be stupid to raise the price as they are “working on a sequel”.
“We wouldn’t raise the price now, I mean we’re kind of working on a sequel, so it’d be stupid to the raise the price, really. It’s early days. We’re looking at having more VR stuff in it – that’s the big point of it. And it won’t be called Garry’s Mod 2.”
Although not an official announcement by any stretch of the imagination and the use of the term “kind of” suggests that we are still some way away from getting our hands on the sequel or even an announcement for that matter. Newman was adamant that when it comes to Rust or any other game, his studio Facepunch Studios, won’t be rushed and will work at their own pace.
