Sony Passed On The Order: 1886 Sequel, Dev Claims

The Order: 1886 developer Ready at Dawn pitched a sequel to Sony but was ultimately rejected. While the reason was unclear, the developer thought that had the game's critical reception been higher, there would've been a better chance.

"We really thought that with The Order, we had set up such a unique and appealing baseline that people were going to forgive some of its shortcomings," Ready at Dawn co-founder Andrea Pessino said in an interview with MinnMax. "It would've been an incredible sequel, I can tell you for a fact."

Despite The Order 1886's lukewarm critical reception, sitting at a 63 on GameSpot's sister site Metacritic, Ready at Dawn pitched a sequel. Pessino explained that it was actually better that Sony passed on the sequel because the budget would've been small and the studio didn't have any leverage to negotiate a better contract.
