Sequel games

Little Nightmares was released in and has been ported to several different consoles and platforms, all of which are expected to also be getting this sequel. In this game, the player will still be controlling the same character from the first game, Six. A big change that has many fans excited for this game is the fact that the developers teased that there would be a computer-controlled second character named Mono added to the game to be by the player's side through their adventures.

This game is a sequel to the game Ori and the Blind Forest. This game is set to be a Metroidvania-style game in that players will need to learn new abilities and skills in order to unlock new areas of the game. Related: Wanna Feel Old? Here Are 10 Games Turning 10 In This game is scheduled to be released in March of , so fans of platforming and puzzle games don't have long to wait. Some of the changes from the first game include the fact that this game seems to be more focused on autosaving, instead of having players manually save in the game.

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is an upcoming game that is set to be released on the Nintendo Switch in This game is a sequel to the game Deadly Premonition , a game that was originally released in and has been released on various systems over the years, including Xbox , PlayStation 3, PC, and the Nintendo Switch.

In this sequel, we'll be taken back to the year and sent to a neighborhood in New Orleans to investigate a heinous case. A third game in the Bayonetta series is something that the developers have been teasing for a while. It became more serious after the Nintendo Switch was released when Bayonetta 3 was scheduled to be released in , but fans were left disappointed when the developers moved the release date back a year.

The previous games in the Bayonetta series were released on the Nintendo Switch recently, so it's a great time to get into this cult classic game series. We don't know much about the upcoming third game in the series yet, but it's likely going to follow the title character as she battles enemies. The No More Heroes series started back in with the first game in the series. The last main game in the series was released in , so the fact that we're getting another No More Heroes game only a year after the release of Travis Strikes Again is definitely a welcome surprise.

This game is set to follow the main character, Travis Touchdown, as he goes back to Santa Destroy in order to save the world from an alien invasion. This game is set during the 21st century in Seattle.

The player controls one of the humans that was turned into a vampire during an event called the Mass Embrace, an event in which vampires bit and turned humans at will, causing some problems between the vampire factions in the city. Spelunky 2 was originally set to be released in , but it ended up getting pushed back to This game is the highly anticipated sequel to the platforming game Spelunky. Just like in the original Spelunky , Spelunky 2 is a game in which players will journey underground in order to find treasure, fight off enemies, and find all kinds of amazing secrets.

In this game, the player will be controlling a character named Ana Spelunky, the daughter of the characters from the first game. This game was announced a couple years ago and fans have been eagerly awaiting any news about this game ever since then. First entries in a video game series have a lot of hurdles to overcome. They need to introduce the characters, story, world, and lore, plus all the different gameplay mechanics.

They also often try to do something more experimental than other series on the market to stand out. This is when the developers really know what their game is from the start and can build off of what came before, knowing the player also has that knowledge.

Here are some of the best sequels to games that are seen as massive leaps in quality from their predecessor and perhaps even stand as the best the series has ever seen. Mega Man created a simple formula that has persisted for over a dozen games now. Pick a robot master to challenge, fight through their stage, defeat the boss, acquire their weapon, and use it to beat another boss.

Repeat the process for six bosses — or eight, starting in the sequel — before one final gauntlet leading up to the final boss. While nothing changed graphically between the first two entries or first several, for that matter , everything under the hood was improved.

Mega Man felt way better to control, and the stages were still incredibly hard but far more fair and less about trial and error and enemy variety. Ask any Mega Man fan which one is their favorite, and Mega Man 2 will be at least in the top three.

The levels were more intricate, Tails joined the team and allowed for two-player co-op or competitive play, there were 3D-style special stages, and we were introduced to Super Sonic. The biggest draw was undoubtedly the insane for the time graphics they were able to achieve compared to everything else coming out at the time.

The game itself was solid, too, with tons of unique environments to traverse through. Swapping out Donkey Kong for the duo of Diddy and Dixie, this new Kong allowed for even more variety in movement thanks to the glide ability.

Then there were even more animal companions to find with their own bonus stages, more intricate barrel sections, better bosses, and somehow even more creative levels than the first. The first couple games on this list at least knew what they wanted to be when they began, but the first Street Fighter game only vaguely feels like a proper fighting game. The first game did have some basic moves, like the famous Dragon Punch and Hurricane Kick, but they were far too difficult to pull off, partially due to the control setup.

Rather than having different buttons for each level of attack light, medium, and hard , the player would actually have to press the arcade pad harder to do stronger attacks. The game also only had two playable characters, Ryu and Ken, who were functionally identical.

The sequel fixed every problem this game had, plus invented staples of the fighting game genre that are still followed to this day. The roster of characters was upped to six, all of whom have become iconic to the series and all with their own personalities and special moves. OK, moving into some more modern entries now. The first KH title was a huge experiment, combining classic Disney characters with both Final Fantasy and wholly-original characters in a story that, at least at the start, was simple and fitting for both franchises.

It was more about the novelty of interacting with these worlds and characters than anything else. Then the sequel came along and blew everything out of the water. The game almost felt like a kart racer due to its cartoony nature and off-the-wall physics. Finding a secret route through a hidden cave to just inch out in front of the racing pack made for a game that offered thrilling moments. The kart racing games you hear about most often are probably the likes of Mario Kart or Crash Nitro Kart.

However, true kart racer aficionados know that Diddy Kong Racing is the real king of the pack. Diddy Kong Racing took a lovable roster of characters and tossed them into a racer where you could drive, fly, and even hover on water.

The ability to utilize different vehicle types really upped the ante for the kart racing subgenre. In addition to an incredible adventure mode, your items could also be combined for more powerful effects during races. Please Nintendo, remake this game or at least provide a proper sequel. While Okami , the beautiful 3D adventure game, did indeed receive a shiny HD upgrade, it has never received an actual sequel.

This is an utter shame because Okami took the puzzle and exploration elements from The Legend of Zelda series but incorporated a unique paintbrush mechanic to spice things up. Okami stars Amaterasu, a lovable and courageous wolf. Amaterasu would explore the elegantly designed worlds in order to restore them through the aforementioned painting mechanic.

A sequel on the Switch would be a perfect fit. Darkwatch was another s era action-adventure game, this time taking place from a first-person perspective. You play as a vampire cowboy, Jericho Cross, as he battles his way through supernatural and steampunk-inspired worlds. Darkwatch was revolutionary for its blend of first-person shooting and vampiric abilities.

Interestingly, there was supposed to be a Darkwatch 2. However, it was canceled, never to see the light of day. Darkwatch needs to return in some fashion because its unique spin on horror and action is still lauded by fans to this day. It's an outstanding game due to its incredible strategic action gameplay, amazing visuals, and creative gameplay worlds.

It's bizarre because you are quite literally playing out the fever dream of the famous composer, Frederic Chopin.
