As one of Sony's most underrated works, "The Past No More" has once again become the focus of discussion among the player community due to the lack of sequels.The work originally planned to be a trilogy failed to continue due to Sony's lack of interest, and development team Bend Studio even failed to formally propose a sequel due to fear of being rejected.

Instead, Bend Studio was scheduled to develop a real-time service game, but the project was eventually cancelled and resulted in about 30% of the studio's staff being laid off.Despite these setbacks, players did not give up hope.Currently, a petition requesting the launch of "The Past No More 2" has collected nearly 240,000 signatures, fully demonstrating the strong demand for sequels in the market.

Petition numbers clearly show that a large number of players are requesting a sequel, which does not include many players who do not know the existence of the petition.Now seems to be the best time for Sony to listen to the community and meet the real expectations of players.

It is worth noting that Sony's response has caused a lot of controversy.Sony did not consider the sequel, but decided to launch a replica of the original game - this was not what players asked for.This move naturally triggered a strong backlash. The player community has made it clear: we don’t want a replica, what we want is "The Past No More 2".

What is even more ironic is that Digital Foundry's technical analysis shows that "The No Remake of the Past"'s initial performance on PS5 is even worse than the original.To this day, players are still calling for a sequel.Now that unnecessary real-time service has been cancelled, it seems to be a great opportunity for developers to focus on meeting the long-term needs of the community.

What do you think about this? Do you want a sequel to "The Past No More"?Welcome to the comment section for discussion.
