A former member of the order of 1886 has made revelations that are still frustrating those who have been waiting for a sequel for many years.
The studio of Lone Echos Studio, the Order of 1886 or even God of the War Chains of Olympus, did not survive the takeover by Meta. The restructuring of Mark Zuckerberg in 2023 led to numerous layoffs that triggered the case of the development studio. Before his takeover and his sad closure, the plan was ready to publish a continuation of the order of 1886. Andrea Pessino, co -founder of the company with Ru Weerasuriya, returned to this during a discussion with the channel YouTube Minnmax.
The order from 1886 will never be immediately …
The order of 1886 could have had a follow -up, but … without counting on Playstation that did not want to take the risk. And what the development of this universe and new games prevented is the weak criticism after the co -founder Andrea Pessino. ” I don't think it is due to sales, but because of the critical reception. That is the problem. Sony is rightly a very proud group, and if the critical greeting in the 1970s was fair [ndlr : sur Metacritic]We would have had the sequel. I am convinced. A few more points and everything would have gone well. A statement that the fans will clearly disappoint.
The metacritical average is important for industry today. The catch is that the order from 1886 63/100 did not exceeded for 94 critics. One of the weakest results that have never been excluded for a Playstation. How can you explain such a negative return? For Andrea Pessino, many things were shortened in the order in 1886 due to lack of time, which in the end was wrong in the end.
” One of the problems is that a lot has been deleted. Much more subtle narrative elements have been lost because many things have been deleted and what should be interactive has become a film. In reality we needed an additional year of development. We didn't have it, so we said, cutting, cutting, cutting, cutting ». And it is true that the narrative problems that are not kept in the gameplay, the order from 1886, which it is regrettable, see how the universe on paper is promising.
… but we know what they could have looked like
What could a sequel to the order in 1886 have? Obviously, the theory of fans that the game could have taken place in 1986 was not good. According to Pessino, a second episode from 2018, three years later, could have been released on PS4 and could have a multiplayer as a bonus. The insider Shinobi602 had declared that he had heard of this project, and a priori would have been the development.
“As far as I know, they had terrific plans for continuing the order before Meta bought them. Since the engine is already available (which required a lot of time and resources for the first episode), you would add everything to the gameplay. I bet we could have seen a gap that is similar between Assassins Creed 1 & 2. I hope everyone will fall on their feet. What a tragic end for such a talented team » He had unveiled when he was ready at Dawn's closure.
