Descent, MDK, Earthworm Jim sequels coming

It looks like my prayers may be answered; despite quite a few months/years in financial straits, publisher Interplay is all set to get back into the gaming business.
According to Interplay's 2007 fiscal year financial results, the publisher is working on sequels to Earthworm Jim, Dark Alliance, Descent and my favorite from the list, MDK. To prepare themselves, Interplay restarted its in-house game development studio and has been hiring game developers.
Net revenue for the 2007 year for Interplay reached $6.01 million, which was a 502% increase during the same period in 2006. Net income for 2007 for the company was $5.86 million; $5.75 million of the earned net income was from selling the Fallout IP to Bethesda Softworks.
Lastly, Interplay is still planning to secure funding for its Fallout MMOG.

Sign me up for a new Earthworm Jim. I am undecided if i would rather it be an XBLA version like the one on the SNES or newly reimagined in a high def retail release.
Earthworm Jim? Aw, hells yeah!
Oh yes. MDK and Earthworm Jim? Awesome.
Wow, they made 110,000 on there own though? without the sale of fallout?" thats depressing, lets hope they crank out some killer apps.
is it going to be games or xbox live arcade. p.s. make more clay fighters! (earthworm jim is way awesome though)
MDK and Decent FTW
BTW I thought Interplay went out of business
No, Interplay closed their developing houses for a while as they went through a financial rough spot. But they were never bankrupt.
Now they're trying to recover. Will they succeed? Fail? I dunno.
WTB Dark Alliance 3 and Earthworm Jim, PST!
YES! MDK 3! IS COMING!
We live in great times indeed.
Earthworm Jim and MDK ftw, can not wait!
