10 Upcoming Video Game Sequels Nobody Asked For

3. Ace Combat 7

The Ace Combat series has existed for almost 25 years, and though Ace Combat 7 will be the first core entry since 2007, the franchise has patently over-saturated itself with a staggering number of spin-offs, handheld and otherwise, resulting in 17 releases in just 24 years.

As if that over-abundance of titles wasn't enough, the series' critical reception has been a fairly mixed bag since its inception, so here's a game that the hardcore fans may buy out of obligation, but it's hard to imagine many others being excited about it at all.

Could It Be Any Good?: The game has one major ace up its sleeve: Ace Combat 7 will release with PlayStation VR support, which could add a whole new dimension to the standard style of gameplay. Then again, if the rest of the game is average at best, it might not do enough to reinvigorate the series.
