Earlier rumored to be in development, Conduit 2 has officially been confirmed in the latest issue of Nintendo Power. The game is currently in development at High Voltage Software and will be published by Sega. High Voltage Software is looking to rectify the short comings of it’s predecessor by focusing more on the art style and story of the game. Conduit 2 will also feature split-screen multiplayer for up to four players, another feature missing in Conduit.
