Bully, aka Canis Canem Edit never did get a sequel (Rockstar Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Too many video games<\/a> have been seemingly abandoned by their publishers but which ones are most overdue a sequel?<\/p>\n

Whenever a video game sells well, it\u2019s usually safe to assume it will get a sequel. For instance, you didn\u2019t need Warner Bros. to tell you Hogwarts Legacy 2<\/a> would be a thing once the original made a billion dollars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes though, a game will resonate with players but fail to meet the expectations of its publisher. Other times, games will perform well critically and commercially, but the publisher will overlook that success and act like their hit game never existed.<\/p>\n

Some games have defied the odds and bounced back, in spite of low sales or years long absences (Sega, for example, is planning new sequels for dormant IPs like Jet Set Radio<\/a>) but today, let\u2019s highlight the games that really should have had a sequel by now and maybe try and convince some executives somewhere to give them another chance.<\/p>\n

1. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Previous Mortal Kombat spin-off games have either been humorously bad (like Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero) or just plain awful (Mortal Kombat: Special Forces) but the 2005 co-op adventure game Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks was a genuinely good game.<\/p>\n

Series creative director Ed Boon has teased a possible remake or sequel in the past, but after the relative failure of Mortal Kombat 1<\/a> now does seem the ideal time for a big budget revival. Especially since the co-op gameplay would benefit from modern online functionality.<\/p>\n
