Ready at Dawn, the developer of The Order: 1886, pitched a sequel to Sony which was ultimately rejected. Co-founder Andrea Pessino expressed disappointment, suggesting that a better critical reception could have influenced a different outcome. He noted that the studio had a unique concept for a sequel but believed that the smaller budget and lack of leverage contributed to the rejection. Moreover, Pessino reflected on the development pressures that led to the game's shortcomings, highlighting the team's belief that a higher review score might have made a sequel possible.
"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."
"It would’ve been an incredible sequel, I can tell you for a fact."
"We were desperate, you know, we had to ship... We need at least one more year and we didn't get it."
"Had it actually scored somewhere in the 70s, then Pessino was convinced there could've been a sequel."
