Gamers are practically being killed with the fact that a game has become the object and then the recognition of their progress, without being able to continue with the story and the full development of the game. Sometimes it is not easy to get licenses, the studio closes, or there are legal problems, and that is when the magic of these amazing games disappears. Therefore, here are ten video games that should have a sequel but most likely will never get one.
1. Bloodborne
The combination of Sony and FromSoftware gave birth to probably the number one action RPG in an open world with Bloodborne and let’s just say that people enjoy it to the max. The intense darkness and nightmare gothic world, the magnificent structure of fast combat, and the story were the one thing that caught our attention. And yet, despite the high demand from the fans, the sequel slot remains vacan because probably the developers feel attracted or Sony is silent.
2. Bully
The Bully game did not follow the GTA formula but opened a school to the player to do the same things but with the scripts and objectives of the school. The theme should have been inspired by bullying or not being able to fit in the new school or related issues. Moreover, fans had been waiting for the Bully 2 for a long time but Rockstar did not announce the game as they were apparently more concentrated on the GTA series, and Red Dead Redemption.
3. The Order: 1886
The Order 1886 finally got its idea of the lore that fascinated the fans as much as the next part in the game world that everything else that could be developed about was not just talk but a serious thing. So said reviews were fair enough as to The Order, but the central idea of the lore could be realized only if the other parts of the game were developed properly. Due to the lack of sales and the fact that the studio closed the sequel to The Order 1886 is not very likely to happen.
4. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex is such a famous series of the cyberpunk, lone human, RPG games, that the tridicity of the post-industrial era, and human fragility is depicted in forms of story with the fantastic elements. However, after Mankind Divided, the publisher put it on an indefinite hiatus and now with the ongoing focus on the different projects in the studio, the game may never continue as the community may desire.
5. Dino Crisis
As farfetched as it might seem, dino combined in survival horrid. This, of course, was heavily inspired by the Resident Evil series. Capcom’s Dino Crisis was one of the different franchises that was admired by its audience, for this reason, there were requests for a new installment but no answer from the side of Capcom.
6. L.A. Noire
L.A. Noire by Rockstar was a thrilling police story production unique in its time, with its authentic actors’ facial animation technology. Nevertheless, the trouble-strewn process of creating the game and the closure of Team Bondi make the possibility of the development of a sequel dim.
7. Sleeping Dogs
This open-world action play is one of the best, it has very innovative action scenes with martial arts and the story of Hong Kong cinema. Unfortunately, United Front Games ceased operation and the franchise is not available.
8. Okami
Okami is a creative and visually heavenly game and one of the few goals that Clover Studio managed to reach when the company was still functional. In spite of the fact that the game got a spin-off in Okamiden, nothing more than a full game was produced.
9. Half-Life 2: Episode 2
The Half-Life series took the first-person shooter games to a new level, and fans were jubilant at the release of the much-awaited sequel Episode 2 back in 2007. But, as the talk fades, the company starts looking not interested in continuing the saga. Thus, it seems very doubtful.
10. Alpha Protocol
Obsidian’s spy RPG Alpha Protocol had some imperfections and a developing fanbase as well. With Sega being the owner and the lack of interest in the company resurrecting the idea, the failure of the sequel to join the stage is inevitable.
Conclusion
Gaming assortment features an enormous quantity of amazing titles that for one reason or another never receive the well-deserved successors. However, fans do not stop. We want to believe that amidst the rapidly evolving gaming industry many of these titles will re-emerge from the past into the present. Whether the reasons relate to the priorities of the development studios, the legal issues, or the affected market sectors, these games are very unlikely to make the comeback again but their status in the hall of gaming fame will always be something special and unique.
