Video game studios are quite similar to movie studios in the sense that they never shy away from creating franchises, hoping to make prequels, sequels and whatnot. More often than not, if a game sells well, you can expect its sequel to drop within a few years. For instance, Batman: Arkham Asylum got rave reviews after it was released, which gave the studio the idea to create Arkham City and Arkham Knight, completing a trilogy of Batman games.
Sure, there are plenty of standalone titles that performed well too, but in most cases, studios are eyeing long running franchises. It’s a win-win for everyone, as successful franchises make money for studios while people get to immerse themselves in their favorite video games. With that said, however, some franchises simply don’t find their footing and fall flat on their face for one reason or another. In this piece, we will talk about some franchises that couldn’t make it and are now dead and buried.
