After over 20 years since Theme Hospital hit the shelves (and I bought it) if you were to ask me what my most wanted gaming sequel would be, Theme Hospital 2 would likely be at the top of the list. Sadly, EA conspired against me to make sure that it never happened. Why not I have no idea, but that is EA.
Therefore, when details of a spiritual successor were announced in Two Point Hospital was announced, I was thrilled. Not only was it going to be very specifically a spiritual sequel but a lot of the original staff from Bullfrog were onboard for its development.
While we do know that the game is expected to release around September/October specific details have been a little sparse. Following a glut of information though, we finally have some new details for the games planned release.
In a report via PCGamesN, we are told that the new game will include a number of scenarios to play through. Perhaps the most interesting of these, however, is the concept of an NHS. Yes, a free health service where your hospital is given a specific budget. On that, you must find a way to run your hospital, cure patients and presumably not go bankrupt.
The report also suggests that Two Point Hospital might just be the beginning of a much larger plan for simulations. With them intending to exceed Theme Hospital in every way they can, it’s a lofty goal. Even today I can quite happily play Theme Hospital and try and figure out how I can sure 16 people with King Complex before they die.
With Two Point Hospital, I’m hoping, for me at least, that it can give me as many happy memories.
