An Interplay Press Release (thanks Bluesnews) tells of the company's intent to produce sequels for a handful of games that should provoke some warm memories. Earthworm Jim, Dark Alliance, Descent, MDK and a MMO Fallout are specifically mentioned.
Interplay sold off other IP, notably Baldurs Gate and Fallout (retaining the option to do a MMO), to improve an extremely poor balance sheet, which is now barely in the red. That still doesn't allow for a lot of working capital, the company will need to work hard just to obtain finance and I doubt much grade A talent will want to risk their mortgage to Interplay's recent history.
That said, if they manage to pull though and reverse the fortunes of the ailing company, I daresay they'll be in the right mood for the humour of MDK and Earthworm Jim.
