10 Most Infuriating Unresolved Video Game Cliffhangers

4. XIII

Despite a colourful art style and good reviews, XIII just didn€™t do the numbers to get a sequel off the ground; a pity, since in addition to being a fun shooter it ended on an absolute doozy of a twist.

After a complicated series of events, an undercover spy - codenamed XIII - celebrates having uncovered a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. Government by a sinister group called The XX, who also assassinated the President.

After celebrating during a boat party XIII heads off to find the late President€™s brother, only to overhear a conversation which confirms he was behind the whole plot. XIII is then trapped by the brother and his men, and the game end with the text "To be continued".

No such luck unfortunately; despite being fondly remembered we never got to see more adventures with XIII, aside from a couple of Canadian TV shows unrelated to the game.
