For those who played through de Blob and found enjoyment, I have some great news to report. According to IGN, the THQ platformer, de Blob will be receiving the sequel treatment. This news comes by way of NPD data released about de Blobs sales performance from September, until the end of December.

de Blob went on sale September 22nd, and sold 230,000 copies coming into the new year. The game was reported on by numerous gaming sites, but wasn’t really advertised mainstream. That didn’t stop it from performing well in its first few months of existence.

To supplement the news about the sales figures, IGN was able to retrieve interesting comments from a THQ spokesperson, “We’re pleased with de Blob’s performance worldwide…It’s a great intellectual property and you can tell your readers to expect to see more of de Blob in the future.”

So there you have it. If you were a fan of de Blob, you can be pleased in knowing that a sequel is on its way. Since it has pretty much been confirmed, let me make a suggestion. Make a better save system please? Or at least some manner of checkpoints throughout the stages.
