The Wii-exclusive shooter The Conduit will be receiving a sequel, and Sega is back to publish it. Word comes from the latest issue of Nintendo Power (via GoNintendo) that High Voltage is focusing on expanding the world of The Conduit and adding new multiplayer modes and tweaks for the sequel. Some old favorites will be returning, like the Bounty Hunter mode, but the developer will also be adding new elements like character classes and multiple slots for character upgrades. The full Nintendo Power story is said to be eight pages, so check it out for more details.

The first Conduit game was a shooter built from the ground up for the Wii, and gained a good deal of attention for it before its release. It met with middling reviews, and didn't crack the top 10 software sales in the NPDs. This makes a sequel a little bit surprising, especially in that Sega is publishing again. Sequels usually improve on the original, though, so we can hope The Conduit 2 can provide on its promise.
