10 No-Brainer Video Game Sequels That DIDN'T Get Made
10. Knights Of The Old Republic 3
Before Star Wars games fell under the banner of Electronic Arts, there were some real gems to found from a multitude of developers under the publisher Lucasarts. One of the most revered and enjoyed was Knights of the Old Republic, developed by Bioware and Obsidian Entertainment respectively.
Taking place thousands of years before the events of the films, KOTOR and its sequel, The Sith Lords, were both very deep role-playing titles with equally engrossing stories to tell. The way players could craft the Jedi or Sith Lord they wanted to be throughout the narrative created an unparalleled experience in the galaxy far, far away.
So why wasn't there a third game? It comes down to the numerous projects Bioware took on afterwards. They went from Jade Empire through to Mass Effect without so much of a hint of KOTOR 3. Obsidian had also moved on, having been put through an incredibly tight deadline to complete the second game. With that title having an inconclusive cliffhanger ending, this only increased hopes for a third entry.
What fans got instead was Star Wars: The Old Republic, an MMO that failed to impress investors or knock World of Warcraft off its lofty perch. It wasn't quite the successor they had wanted.
