The Resistance sequence was a significant a part of the PS3 period, however sadly by no means received to proceed previous that. It’s usually speculated as to precisely why Sony by no means saved the sequence going, particularly as PlayStation doesn’t have any shooters at the moment in its first-party portfolio.

Former IGN journalist and now podcaster Colin Moriarty said in an episode of Sacred Symbols in 2021 that people he knew at Insomniac had told him that they had in fact pitched Resistance 4 however that it was turned down because of them having too many post-apocalyptic video games in growth, similar to Days Gone, The Final of Us and Killzone: Shadow Fall.

Now, although, we’ve affirmation from the horse’s mouth that Resistance 4 was certainly pitched to Sony.

Quickly-to-be former president of Insomniac Video games Ted Value shared this tidbit on the latest episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast. Value was requested what his favorite recreation that he pitched was that by no means received greenlit. Value laughs and says, “Yeah, I’ll share one: Resistance 4.”

“We did pitch that one and it was an exquisite idea, and, it simply, when it comes to timing and market alternative, didn’t work out,” stated Value. “Nevertheless it was the results of quite a lot of Insomniac crew members being enthusiastic about extending the story additional as a result of I do imagine that Resistance has arrange a very cool alternate historical past base the place something can occur with the Chimera and the place they go and what their origins are.”

“Personally, I really like this franchise. I used to be lucky sufficient to be inventive director on the primary two Resistances. And I’ll keep in mind many, many moments—good and dangerous—relating to growth that taught us all so much about how we will elevate ourselves below some fairly tough conditions.”

It appears unlikely that Insomniac will return to the Resistance sequence any time quickly as the corporate is busy engaged on the following Spider-Man title together with the upcoming Wolverine recreation. However since we do reside in an age of remasters and remakes, so there’s all the time an opportunity Resistance may come again.
