15 Games That Are Unlikely To Receive A Direct Sequel

Many stories prefer to keep their conclusions open but some have more or less ended forever.

L.A. Noire

There are a number of reasons why L.A. Noire could never see a sequel, not the least of which includes the fact that Team Bondi is no more. Even if Rockstar decides to head back to the 1940s film noir version of Los Angeles, it’d be better off telling a brand new story. Protagonist Cole Phelps heroically sacrificed himself in the first game and while Kelso is still a factor, his part in the plot strikes us as more of a sad irony than an unresolved thread. Given the gold that Rockstar has struck with Grand Theft Auto 5 and recently with Red Dead Redemption 2, we’d be surprised if L.A. Noire ever springs back to life with a sequel.
