Nothing Is Stopping Insomniac From Developing A New Sunset Overdrive

Nothing is stopping Insomniac Games from developing a new entry in the Sunset Overdrive series, according to the original game’s director.

Speaking with GQ, Insomniac’s Marcus Smith revealed that there is really nothing stopping the studio from developing a new entry in the series, as the IP is owned by the studio.

Marcus Smith added that he would love to develop a new Sunset Overdrive game, as he feels like there are a lot of stories that could be told in that universe.

I mean, never say never is my approach. Obviously, we’re part of Sony now, but we own the IP and so there’s nothing really stopping us other than we have a lot of really exciting things in our future.

While this is far from being a confirmation that the Sunset Overdrive franchise will continue in some form, it is nice to hear that it hasn’t been forgotten. Something may be brewing already, as a new trademark related to the franchise has been recently registered by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

I would. I think there are a lot of stories that can be told in that universe and I would love to return to it. I had a lot of fun making that game.

Sunset Overdrive is now available on PC and Xbox One worldwide. You can learn more about Insomniac’s open-world game by checking out our review of the PC version.
