Sequel teases that never went anywhere
- Thread starter SolVanderlyn
- Start date
Prince of Persia 2 had a couple: a witch at the very end watching events through a crystal ball and a vision of the Prince's mother telling him that they're of royal blood and to avenge their family. Mechner had a plan for the third installment, but he was barely involved with Prince of Persia 3D (which ignored both twists) and the Ubisoft series were complete reboots, so we never got to see it.
Completely forgot about this game! Remember that I really liked it when I first played it 10-15 years ago. I Wonder how it holds up.
D4, we even got a teaser image of ep 2.. but swery left access games, will never happen now.
A shame, D4 was great.

Late, but this is mine. I've never seen a game with an ending that so clearly assumed it would get a sequel before. Spoiler warning, it did not.
No game based on a new property should ever end their game with the words "To Be Continued". You're just asking for it.
Balder freaks out at a dinner with the Aesir celebrating. Confronts them all about lying to him, and how nothing is resolved. Then after the credits, Loki, who was the the betrayer of the Aesir in the game, has his ship crash land on the the world of Jotenheim, he looks up, smiles and he sees a huge Frost Giant that is blocking out the sun.
The game was wack and janky to play but I liked it, especially the story.

Franziska says that she will give the card to Phoenix the next time they face in court.
Well, she and Phoenix never again appeared in court together after that case lol.
Maybe it will happen in AA7 when Gumshoe and Franziska will finally make their long-awaited return to the series... maybe.

I would really like to see a DSIV with Strife being FPS game a la Doom 2016.
Given Gunfire's last game was a 3rd person souls-like shooter, I'm guessing Strife's game will be a TPS, hopefully with combat more reminiscent of Vanquish.
...
Hopefully it's their next title.
lol these
and this one too. when they jumped ship my heart and any hope i had for it to happen went away with them
Hahahaha. Fuck.
I fucking LOVED Darksiders, and I was sooo ready for a sequel with potential 4 player co-op with the other horsemen. Shame it never played out that way smh.
This is what I came to post. Game had such a cool (secret?) ending and did absolutely nothing with it lol.
interesting story - Cross Code a New Home ends with a kind of post-credits potential sequel tease. It turns out this tease was entirely unintentional and just misinterpreted by the audience, the devs put out a statement on their discord saying they want to do a new game in a new universe instead and that the first game is also the last for that series.
I'm sure these wasn't made to be taken seriously, but I was severe disappointed that MvC2 never carried any of the continuity of the MvC1 endings for each character; Especially Lilith's!
Mega Man ZX Advent had a very obvious sequel tease that went nowhere for obvious reasons and it made me super sad
Is your name from motherfuckin Pokemon Colosseum? Cause if it is we gotta be besties
We are never getting a resolution to that cliffhanger, not just because BG&E2 is a prequel, and not just because BG&E3 will never happen, but also because actually BG&E2 will never happen.
It's not the most obvious of sequel teases, but I maintain Quantum Break set up a sequel to wrap up it's plot. The whole big threat in the game (spoilers) stems from someone travelling forward in time and discovering time had stopped. They do a bunch of stuff to try and avoid this fate but oh no, time is stopping early for some unknown reason. Naturally this get resolved, but I've always figured the characters were wrong in assuming time was stopping early and that this was just a seperate time event they were always supposed to prevent. Thus leaving the actual time stop still out there for a sequel. Also the actual time stop was something like 4 years later which would fit the time frame for releasing a sequel.
God, Isabella was so mistreated in the Dead Rising franchise. She deserved so much better.
Xenoblade X.
Dumbest teaser ever and nobody cares about that random NPC. Next.

I don't understand people listing Legacy of Kain. Defiance was vaguely open-ended (in that the Elder God was just "defeated" and not fully destroyed), but there was still a solid conclusion to the arc. It doesn't need a sequel, anyway, without the original writers you know it'd be shit.
Deus Ex Human Revolution/Mankind Divided, however, is clearly an incomplete story, and that one really hurts.

I'd say no. That is a direct reference to how the movies end, which not only did the movie get direct sequels but there were games based on two of those movies as well even if Rare didn't develop them.Does the Goldeneye 64 ending count ?
I mean, it's extremely obvious there's a sequel hook, specially when they reveal the real bad guy of the game in the post credits scene.
Pretty much, though given the themes of the game and it's interpretation of time travel, that you can't change the past but rather set the future you already know in motion, one could understand that the end of time is coming and they can't do anything about it.
Exactly. Whether by accident, or because someone on the writing staff knew a sequel wouldn't happen, we ended up with something which can be seen as a decent end point for the series. Not a definitive "Kain wins" ending that some wanted, but I felt it worked rather well, and with how the series never did get a game after that (and going by most of the canceled stuff, feels like a hail of bullets were dodged), its a decent end to the series.
Anyway. Is it too soon to say Shenmue 3? The butchered ending we got (complete with terrible localisation), points you to the great wall of China and with the plot not resolved at all (heck, 3 does so little until the final few minutes, where its as if it suddenly realised it needed to forward the plot) that you now have no mirrors, some sort of internal struggle within the Chi You Men is happening (gee, those plot points would make a great game story...) that in theory, Shenmue 4 could have a good plot. Or another wild goose chase. We may never know... (and perhaps that's for the best)
The second PSP game, Ghost of Sparta, followed up on that!
That was the stuff with the overworld, right? I remember being very excited about it back in the day.
Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness was s
meant to be the start of a trilogy and even with some of it condensed into a single game it still ended on a sequel hook, never to be followed up on.
