— Goichi Suda responding with feigned surprise when asked by EGM about rumors of a Contact sequel.

The Grasshopper CEO makes sure to remind us that Contact’s director, Akira Ueda, left the studio and now heads Audio Inc., but he doesn’t give any concrete details about whether there is a follow-up in the works.

Suda simply says, “For any Contact sequel to happen, we need to talk about it with [Ueda] first.”

Though this was in last month’s EGM, and the interviewer, Jeremy Parish, even told us to expect this bit of news, but I didn’t receive my copy of the issue until yesterday!
