10 Sequels Gamers Will Never Get

Mercenaries 3

It’s unclear when exactly Mercenaries 3 entered development but it wouldn’t be officially revealed until the studio was shut down. What caused the studio’s closure? Electronic Arts, essentially. After acquiring the company in 2008, it would shut down its Brisbane office in February 2009. In November the same year, the studio was officially shuttered and several employees absorbed into EA Los Angeles to continue supporting its last project, The Saboteur. EA LA would also work on Mercs Inc, a multiplayer shooter follow-up in the franchise, but that was canceled as well. A demo for Mercenaries 3 was released online years later, hinting at what could have been.
