Which of These 10 Games Would Hype You Up Most If It Got a New Trailer?

by

Every gamer remembers being completely blown away by a trailer – for me, and a lot of others, it was the first reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Remake back in 2015. There’s nothing quite like seeing a beloved childhood game reimagined with today’s incredible technology. While not every remake or sequel lives up to the original, we still get excited to see what they offer.

It’s always a challenge to create a sequel or remake that lives up to the original. Capturing the same magic and improving on a beloved game isn’t easy. There are some games, though, that practically demand a follow-up. We’re going to focus on those titles – the ones players are really hoping to see continued. Unfortunately, due to issues like company decisions or projects being cancelled, these potential sequels remain elusive.

With that said, here are ten games that would generate a huge reaction if their trailers were suddenly revealed.

Days Gone 2

Although a sequel to Days Gone is still considered unlikely, Sony Bend has generated renewed excitement with the game’s remastered version, releasing in April 2025. Days Gone Remaster improves the original by fixing its framerate issues and upgrading the graphics with enhanced shadows and 4K resolution. This release briefly sparked hope for a continuation of the story, but that hope diminished when Sony Bend advertised a job opening for someone experienced in developing and designing multiplayer games. The studio has previously denied the possibility of a sequel, but strong fan demand persists, and Sony often follows where the money is. It’s not entirely out of the question that Days Gone 2 could happen someday, particularly if fans continue to express their interest.

The Saboteur 2

Do you remember Pandemic Studios? They were the creators of games like Destroy All Humans and Mercenaries Playground of Destruction. Their final game was The Saboteur, and it was pretty innovative. While it used a similar open-world style to games like Assassin’s Creed, it was set in WWII France and featured a cool mechanic where areas you freed would regain their color. A sequel with a great story and voice acting would be fantastic. With EA’s resources and that unique setting, Saboteur 2 could be a *GTAstyle game in WWII Europe, but unfortunately, it’s unlikely to happen.

Uncharted 5

The most recent Uncharted game was Lost Legacy in 2017, which focused on characters Chloe and Nadine. It felt like a step towards a new direction for the series, with more open exploration and without Nathan Drake. While Uncharted 4 seemed to wrap up Nathan’s story, just like Indiana Jones recently came out of retirement, there’s still a chance for one more adventure with him. A fifth Uncharted game is probably in the works – Naughty Dog has been developing a project led by Uncharted writer Shaun Escayg for a while now, and it’s not their sci-fi game, Intergalactic. We likely won’t see Uncharted 5 until after Intergalactic comes out, but fans are hoping it happens eventually.

Bloodborne 2

Few video game sequels are desired more than Bloodborne 2. Despite its popularity, Bloodborne remains a surprisingly overlooked property owned by Sony – The Last of Us has received multiple remasters, and even Days Gone just got one. Fans are left wondering why Sony hasn’t revisited it. If Bloodborne 2 were announced, it would undoubtedly generate hype comparable to GTA 6. Hopefully, any sequel will maintain the original’s focus on immersive, atmospheric exploration, rather than heavily emphasizing multiplayer like some recent FromSoftware games.

Titanfall 3

Fans desperately want a Titanfall 3, but Electronic Arts keeps declining to approve its development – a situation similar to the long-awaited Bloodborne 2. EA first cancelled plans for a sequel in 2019, choosing instead to focus on Apex Legends and the popular, consistently profitable hero-shooter genre. More recently, in early 2025, the planned Titanfall extraction shooter was also cancelled due to company layoffs. Titanfall 2 stood out because of its excellent single-player campaign, which was fast-paced and incredibly creative – it’s arguably the last truly memorable first-person shooter campaign released that wasn’t a Doom game. While a Titanfall 3 isn’t completely out of the question, EA would need to significantly change its approach to game development to make it happen.

Sleeping Dogs 2

A sequel to Sleeping Dogs is a long shot, but not impossible. The original game gained a dedicated following because of its unique personality and its strong similarities to GTA. Sadly, the original developer, United Front Games, closed in 2016. However, they still own the rights to Sleeping Dogs, leaving a glimmer of hope. They even attempted an online spin-off called Triad Wars, set in the same world, but it failed after a brief beta test. A true Sleeping Dogs 2 – a single-player game with a detailed Hong Kong setting and improved martial arts combat – could be something special.

Metal Gear 1 Remake

Think about hearing the famous line, “I FEEL ASLEEP!!” – originally from the 1988 NES game Metal Gear (first released in 1987) – fully voiced in a modern remake. While the Final Fantasy 7 Remake smoothed out its script, I’d love Konami to keep the original Metal Gear’s funny, imperfect translation. It would be a great tribute to Kojima and add a lot of character to the game. Sure, those lines might sound even stranger with high-definition graphics, but that’s part of what makes the series so endearing, isn’t it? Luckily, a remake of the original Metal Gear is definitely possible. Konami has already proven they can faithfully remake classic Metal Gear Solid games, and what better place to start than with the very first games from the 1980s?

New Dino Crisis

I’d be happy with just a remastered or remade version of the original Dino Crisis, but honestly, I really want a completely new game. It’s frustrating that the developers seem to ignore this beloved series, despite constant requests from fans. So many classic franchises deserve a comeback – like Mega Man (especially Legends), Breath of Fire, and of course, Dino Crisis. The original Dino Crisis was a 90s survival horror game, and while the series shifted towards more action in its third game from 2003, fans still love the first one. It was similar to Resident Evil, but set in a Jurassic Parklike world. Seeing a modern version that captures the spirit of the original, like the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes did, would be amazing. Even better would be a brand new Dino Crisis game with the mature horror and first-person perspective of Resident Evil 7*.

A New inFamous

Like many studios, Sucker Punch Productions has put its popular inFamous series on hold. This franchise was once a major talking point in the gaming world, known for its open-world gameplay where players could freely run and jump through detailed city environments. What really made inFamous special was its Karma system – players’ choices impacted the story and unlocked different abilities. With today’s technology, this system could be even more impressive, offering branching storylines, more complex powers tied to morality, and a world that truly reacts to your choices. Even simple additions like more customization options based on your moral standing would be fantastic. However, Sucker Punch seems focused on the Ghost of Tsushima series right now, so it’s uncertain if or when we’ll see a new inFamous game.

Sekiro 2

Like many FromSoftware games, Sekiro hasn’t received any post-launch support. While Bloodborne fans still hope for DLC, Sekiro never even got any—a decision we initially respected. However, looking back, an expansion or two would have been fantastic. Sekiro truly stands out for its incredible combat system, which is highly focused and demanding, leading to a really precise and skillful experience. The game didn’t offer a huge variety of combat styles, but that focus is what made it so refined. A sequel could build on this foundation and offer more playstyle options without losing the original’s polish. The core combat is already strong; they just need to add more ways to customize your approach. While fans would be thrilled with a Sekiro 2, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game’s director, generally prefers creating new games, so it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.
