10 Video Game Cliffhangers That Will Never Be Resolved
3. Too Human
The promise of its unresolved cliffhanger isn't the only time Too Human has failed to deliver the goods - released in 2008 exclusively on the Xbox 360, the game was originally meant to launch on the PS1 all the way back in 1999.
Its story revolves around Norse mythology, and includes characters like Loki, Tyr, Freya, Heimdall, and the mighty Thor himself. You play as Baldur, who, as the game progresses, discovers that he had previously been brought back to life by the other gods. In the final scene, he confronts the Norse council about this, has a hissy fit, and storms out of the room.
Elsewhere, the mischievous Loki is shown wandering through a wintry plain, set to a voiceover that basically says "let's stop this dude before he does more awful stuff". Loki then glances up at a massive titan towering over the land, with the insinuation being that he'll use it to devastate Asgard.
So not only is the extremely complicated dynamic between Baldur and the other gods left unexplored, but the prospect of Loki's next attack was just left dangling. Too Human was initially planned as a trilogy of games, but a messy lawsuit (in which developers Silicon Knights were sued into bankruptcy by Epic Games for using a stolen game engine) killed the series' future permanently.
