Advent Rising is an action-adventure third-person shooter that was originally released in 2005. And after more than ten whole years – to be precise after 13 years – Majesco released a brand new update for it on Steam.
Zach writes: 'Since the conception of video games, sequels have been incredibly commonplace. Going back as far as the Atari 2600 with Pitfall and River Raid among others, through to games with a crazy number of sequels such as Army Men and Call of Duty – there’s no shortage of follow-ups in the industry.'.
Don’t hold your breath for a sequel to a one and done IP that’s gone dormant for more than one generation
Absolutely. Very rare cases.
I don't think it's likely that we will ever see sequels to these (JE being the most likely IMO), but a man can dream!
Which games do you wish got the sequel greenlight?

I had briefly tried this game out a LONNNNGGGG time ago on my xbox after I first modified it. Always wanted to get back into it...thanks for the review!
Now is your chance! What an incredible experience this was. Solid game through and through.
Wait. This game came out?
Always thought it was canceled mid production after being heavily advertised.
It was advertised as a trilogy, then they pulled back on console releases and tried to make a psp game that was cancelled mid production called advent shadow.
But also thought it was OG Xbox exclusive. Guessing at some point MS dropped the studio but they managed to finish the game anyway?
This game is so underrated and overlook. It had pretty much everything. Graphic was excellent for it times, RPG element (every skills and weapons have multiple tere/level to unlock that change the gameplay), excellent narrative scifi story driven game (well it was written by Orson Scott who wrote the popular book enders game), pretty chaotic set pieces (it kinda set up that trend for other games later on Imo) and well pace game, never a dull moment. The only negative is the fps may suffer during chaotic moments.
Note: If you decide to play this game, advice not to skip the end credit scene, you will be missing out alot.
Agreed. Loved the end of this amazing game and everything before it.
Just wish the trilogy had been bloody finished!
Exactly. They set it up for the sequal, but it didn't do well and almost bankrupted Majesco. If only MS reboot it and set up for trilogy, i think it will do well this time around. Everyone seems to lean toward more narrative so this should be right up their alley.

Author can’t do basic math
2005 + 14 = 2019
I remember playing a burned copy of this game on the OG xbox, crazy that it was even updated!
Now there's a title that could do with a reboot, into the full series it was meant to be.
that game had potential to be something great but they fail, I think the want to make a trilogy right??
