If you haven’t yet played Resistance 3, savor it when you do. According to a report this morning, it will be your last chance to lead the human opposition to the Chimera invasion.
In a statement with no room for interpretation, Insomniac CEO Ted Price told VG247 this morning, “We won’t be making any more Resistances.”
Though the news will undoubtedly provoke a chorus of “Awww” from fans (and you can be sure there will be an internet petition or two to bring the game back), it doesn’t come as a huge shock. With Ratchet and Clank still in development, the new four-player co-op shooter Overstrike on its way, and the opening of their social games platform, Insomniac Click, the team is keeping itself busy. It probably helped that Resistance 3 was clearly superior to its two predecessors, and Insomniac was able to end its series on a winner.
If this news has devastated you to your core and you’re looking for hope, we may have a small dose for you. Just because Insomniac has no future plans for the Resistance series, doesn’t mean they’re against selling the rights for someone else to continue their work. It’s not much to go on, but don’t stop believing yet, Chimera-slayers.
