In this episode, we’re diving into the games that never got the sequel they truly deserved; the cult classics, one-hit wonders, and brilliant ideas that were left behind far too soon.

From bold concepts that ended on cliffhangers to fan favourites abandoned after one entry, we explore the titles that should have become franchises.

We each bring our own picks to the table, sparking debates, surprise agreements, and plenty of “HOW did this never get a part two?!” moments. Whether it was sales, timing, studio closures or total mysteries, we unpack what happened and imagine what the perfect sequel could have looked like.

Nostalgia, passion, and gaming “what ifs”…
This is the sequel-discussion episode every forgotten gem deserves.
