9 Perfect Video Game Sequel Ideas (That Were Rejected)

The Fear Effect games for the PS1 were a stylish mix of action and horror, but the awkward control scheme took some of the fun away. Still, they gathered a fanbase that loved the characters, and Eidos initially appeared gung-ho about bringing the series to the PS2.

Development began on a new game subtitled Inferno, which would have found the mercenary team being chased by demons once again. An early trailer hinted at a lot of horror elements, with Hana experiencing nasty hallucinations and being attacked by demonic doctors.

The game would have featured a more user-friendly control scheme, while still retaining the cinematic gloss of the previous two games. Inferno was coming along nicely until Eidos had a sudden change of heart and decided against finishing it, though it took years before it’s cancellation was confirmed.

That looked like the end for the series, until a Kickstarter campaign managed to raise the funds for a spin-off title called Fear Effect Sedna - which released in 2018 to... less than impressive reviews.
