[PS3] Insomniac is Done With Resistance

Developer Insomniac Games says in no uncertain terms that it has delivered its last Resistance title. “We won’t be making any more Resistances,” Insomniac CEO Ted Price said in an interview with VG247.

Insomniac gave the PlayStation 3 its first killer-app and arguably its best launch title when it released Resistance: Fall of Man back in 2006, selling over 4 million copies. Both sequels received similarly positive reviews from the media for the most part, however they failed to achieve the same commercial success. Resistance 2 sold a respectable 2.3 million copies in 2008, but last year's Resistance 3 has sold fewer than a million copies worldwide. Insomniac did not give a reason for their disinterest in continuing with series, but its probably safe to say that its declining popularity may have played apart.

It remains to be seen if another developer will continue with Resistance, but for now the franchise is not dead with Nihilistic Software working on Resistance: Burning Skies for the PlayStation Vita. Meanwhile Insomniac is plugging away at their new multiplatform action title Overstrike, and we assume that they will continue to be involved in future entries in the long-running Ratchet & Clank franchise.
