What video game are you waiting to see a new sequel for?
What video game are you waiting to see a new sequel for?
[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn't count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]
Portal
F-Zero
Deus Ex
If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It's fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2's own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.
What I'm looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There's some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.
I'm also interested in Project Borealis, but that's untested for the moment.
Deus Ex. There was supposed to be a third and then Eidos sold out to make the Avengers game that flopped.
Lemmings
Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.
In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.
Hollow Knight
I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I'm still pumped for when they're ready to release it.
Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.
Been watching and waiting for Hollow Knight 2 for entirely too long, but I'd rather have a polished but delayed game then a crap rushed one.
Before the release of DA veilguard, my answer would be Mass Effect 4. Now I'm not so sure.
Smugglers Run - Good premise. I think it could be great with the right modern touches.
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - I know Sekiro started that way but I'd like a legit sequel with legit developed mechanics/story from the originals.
MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 - I think the multiplayer Jam Mode was ahead of its time, and someone should revisit that aspect in a modern mindset.
We’re about due for another game from my favorite series : Tomb Raider
Elder Scrolls 6, but after Starfield shown Bethesda is willing to sabotage the best thing about their games (modding) for no reason i'm not hyped at all.
X-Com 3, but i'm extremely pessimistic after the awful Chimera Squad, completely missed Midnight Suns and the generally weird direction entire genre seems to take lately with abandoning strategic layer in favour of boring sneaky real time exploration.
I would love Battletech 2 and Battlefleet Gothic 3 but there is zero hope after both of those series got dropped harder than 1000 ton steel ball in the ocean.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
Black & White (with VR support).
Shattered Galaxy.
Crystalis.
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I'm also really into LEGO so yay!) I can't wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.
Quantum Break. Its ending most certainly was teasing a sequel. Unfortunately, Microsoft was never willing to sell the rights to the IP to Remedy.
Sonic Frontiers 2 or another Sonic game with the Frontiers formula.
The first game was really good and promising. Technical problems aside, the experiment the Sonic Team did (the open zones) worked great and was the best part of the game. After the success of Shadow Generations, which also implemented the Frontiers formula on an smaller scale, I'm pretty sure the next big game would be way past Amazing.
Endless Ocean: Blue World. I got Endless Ocean: Luminous for Christmas and it is so half-assed and soulless that playing it actually raises my stress level instead of reducing it. My disappointment is truly immeasurable. It turns into anger because there are decisions that are just so objectively bad that they clearly knew were bad but just didn't care.
Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.
C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.
Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.
Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.

Batman ArkhamPikmin 5
I'm excited to see the new jet set radio and crazy taxi.
Not because I'm at all interested in playing them but because I want to see the absolute shitshow they will both assuredly release as.
Hi-Fi Rush.
I was so distraught when the studio was closed despite selling extremely well and working on a sequel. I am beyond excited now that the studio has been picked up by
ZenimaxKrafton. There's no confirmation, but you don't go from planning a sequel to a breakout hit, to being closed down, to being picked up by another parent company just to scrap said sequel.EDIT: Fixed the company buy-up. Forgot the order of things.
Probably Freelancer it's going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I've honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.
Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.
So yeah Id like them to reboot it.
Vampire masquerade bloodlines...yes I know they're working on one, but they've been working on it for years now and it's been bouncing around to different devs, which just seem to either try and make it something else or deviate from the original completely.
Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I'm just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.
Bloody Roar. The rights are held by Konami, so there's practically no chance of it happening.
Sundered. I would love to see the equivalent of Rogue Legacy 2 for that game, where the sequel completely supplants the original while expanding upon the storytelling and lore.
A new redout game that is capable of mantaining a community would be great.
Viva Piñata
Baldur's Gate 4, but that's unlikely to happen at this point.
It's long dead thanks to kinect, but another Sonic Riders game would be amazing.
Absolutely loved Zero Gravity and never played the others (because I didn't know they were part of a series), but I would absolutely love even just a combination of the air fuel like mechanic of the original combined with the gravity meteor ring things. No clue what the kinect version would bring since I've never heard that good of things about it besides the main theme being great, so maybe exclude elements from that title.
Kenshi 2, but I just want a remastered version that makes it more playable.
Grim Dawn. We're getting a new expansion sometime, and I'm fucking hyped, but I want to see more of Cairn. I want to see even more regions, I want to see time pass and how this world tries to recover, how far the gods have truly fallen, how far the Witch Gods may go now that things have broken so deeply.
Little Big Adventure 3.
Once I thought it was just as far away as Half Life 3, but after 27 years of inactivity they started making a remake of LBA 1. Perhaps it will lead to a remake of LBA 2 and the eventually LBA 3.
Not true sequels, but Alabaster Dawn from the Crosscode Devs, and Psycho Patrol R from the Cruelty Squad Dev! Both are some of my favorite games, so I can't wait to see the "successor" games come out!
Shenmue
I'd love another Silent Hill from the team that made the remake
Crusader: No regret/remorse. VR would be very welcome.
My relatively obscure and hopeless choice is Golden Sun 4
Fatal Frame, also could use a remake of 1 and 3. 2 got the Wii rerelease. I just want ones with a good English Japanese accented dub ala Ghost of Tsushima
Ooh I have another one! Steamland, the game of my childhood. RTS with trains. Would be very cool if it had a sequel.
Fallout 4. I think they did most things right with Survival mode and I'd consider it an entirely different game than the vanilla 'fast travel and save anywhere' experience, and it'd be fun to see an even more polished version with more focus on surviving in a world where NPCs are also trying to survive as opposed to more mechanics that don't really broach that aspect such as settlement building. If they made a Fallout 5 that was a bit more challenging in that regard I'd probably consider it a masterpiece
Hollow knight
Im not sure if lootsnake counts since the game is in the pre-alpha stage and all development has been paused
Phantom Doctrine 2, there's a store page for it on Steam but no updates on development status for years now.
I just want my hypnospace outlaw sequel. It was supposed to come out like a year ago and then never did.
- Magic Carpet 3 - loved the feeling af flying and magic system. Always wondered why nobody made this Ingo a VR title hence solving the motion sickness problem by 'standing' on the magic carpet.
- Shadows of Mordor/War 3 - such a versatile gameplay, ever-changing throughout the game.
- Elder Scrolls 6 - if they don't botch it.
