10 Video Game Cliffhangers That Went NOWHERE

10. Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013)

For as much as people love to complain about Call of Duty, you've got to give the franchise credit for being able to cram out sequels to pretty much everything it produces. However, one bizarre outlier is Ghosts, a game that seemed poised to become a franchise before it played too close to its namesake and vanished without a trace. 

Ghosts put you in the shoes of a collection of covert operative agents combating a villainous military organisation known as the Federation of the Americas. Throughout the game, you battle against a brainwashed American soldier named Rorke, who you eventually manage to shoot and leave for dead. 

So, that's it? Job done? Well, no, because a fatal gunshot wound is nothing in Call of Duty.  

The final moments of the game show as Rorke reappears and captures one of the protagonists. He takes him away and begins a brainwashing procedure, attempting to indoctrinate him into the Federation's control. 

It's a real downer of an ending, especially given that the game's underperformance left this blatant sequel bait without a sequel.
