The Saboteur is a action-packed, free-roaming sandbox game that takes place in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. Drive the Nazis out of Paris through whatever means necessary as Irish mechanic-turned-race-car-driver-turned-soldier-of-fortune Sean Devlin.
So does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumours for a sequel to this game? I thought it was awesome and would love it if there is a second game.
" Well the studio that made it are closed so, no fucking way. "
I know it's a month later, but I really have to say, have you ever paid close attention to video game development? Knights of the Old Republic II, Crackdown 2, Fallout: New Vegas, they're all made by companies that didn't make the original game. Hell, Bungie's handing off the rights to Halo, a top-tier franchise, to 343 Studios. EA still owns the rights to The Saboteur, so Pandemic being closed in no way means we'll never see a sequel.
Granted: All three games I used as examples are considered inferior to the original, and whether 343 does anything good with Halo remains to be seen.
Now, The Saboteur didn't do very well financially or critically, and that's a reason to believe there will never be a sequel.

New Vegas isn't exactly out yet, but i assume that's just gauging your own personal thoughts on that game. Also, people like to shit on Kotor II, but i actually liked it.
I think The Saboteur has some pretty interesting designs about it but someone else giving it a second shot might iron out some of the more mediocre aspects of it. I think they definently should try their hand at letting someone make a sequel.
@L33tfella_H: About New Vegas: slip of the "tongue", I got distracted while writing and forgot to mention that. My bad, I don't really have much of an opinion on it myself. And I actually really like The Saboteur, I'm currently wrapping up a Let's Play video series of it.
