On this episode of "Gameranx," we delve into the demise of beloved game franchises that have hit the end of the road. The disappointment of the "Saints Row" reboot left fans in the lurch, signaling the downfall of Volition and the uncertain future of the series. EA's high sales expectations spelled doom for "Dead Space," despite a successful remake, leaving fans craving a sequel that may never see the light of day. The revival of "Deus Ex" with "Human Revolution" was short-lived, as executive meddling in "Mankind Divided" led to its untimely demise, leaving fans bereft of a proper conclusion.
The nostalgic cries for a new "Banjo-Kazooie" game fall on deaf ears at Rare, with the studio showing little interest in reviving the classic franchise due to perceived lack of audience appeal. "Watch Dogs" faced a similar fate with the lackluster reception of "Legion," hinting at the series' uncertain future in the hands of Ubisoft. Lastly, "The Evil Within" showed promise with its sequel, but Tango GameWorks' closure and Microsoft's ownership may seal the fate of the franchise, leaving horror game enthusiasts in despair. As these once-promising series face an uncertain future, fans are left wondering if they'll ever see a revival or if these beloved franchises are truly finished.
