Yesterday, Insomniac revealed that it was completely done with the Resistance franchise for Sony. Today, Insomniac CEO Ted Price has released a video explaining the studio’s stance on leaving behind one of its biggest franchises.
"Some of you may have seen the headlines we inadvertently made through an interview I did, where I confirmed that we are not making any more Resistance games. Now this is not the first time that those of us at Insomniac have said this, but today it was big news,” said Price.
"So I did want to confirm it, face to face, that we are not moving on with the Resistance franchise."
Price said the arc that Insomniac was telling with Resistance ended with Resistance 3.
"We believe that Resistance has reached its logical conclusion in terms of the story that we wanted to tell. However, that doesn't mean the Resistance franchise isn't continuing; it's already in the capable hands of Nihilistic, and Sony's shepherding. We know that it will continue to live on and expand. And we're excited, as fanboys, to see where it goes.”
"But I wanted to thank all of you, our fans, and certainly those of you who have played Resistance, for coming with us on this journey from Resistance 1 all the way through [to] Resistance 3. Your enthusiasm, your comments and your critiques have been extremely helpful and rewarding for us at the same time."
Insomniac is currently working on Overstrike, a multi-platform title being published by EA.
