15 Video Game Franchises Microsoft Can Revive For Xbox Series X | S

Blinx the Time Sweeper

Back in the days of the PS2 and OG Xbox, mascots were a thing. Sony would introduce Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter to its platforming audiences. Microsoft, on the other hand, gave us Blinx, an anthropomorphic cat and Time Sweeper who ventured through timelines to recover crystals. Released in 2002 and receiving a sequel in 2004, Blinx offered some pretty cool time-manipulation mechanics like stopping time, rewinding, speeding up and more along with puzzle-platforming.

However, average critical reception and poor sales meant that Blinx would be confined to history. A revival seems impossible but its gameplay systems are just too interesting to leave behind. Perhaps with a brand new story and revamped design (especially for Blinx), the series could be something special.
