I heard some people want the game to come back or get a sequel. But there’s one thing I’ve been wanting for it to be a franchise similar to Assassin’s Creed where each main character is from a different culture. I think this is such a good approach and could give you a way to explore a whole culture and tell different stories and offer fun experiences with unique heroes.
Ryse: Son of Greece playing as a Greek Warrior and probably sequel to Son of Rome
Ryse: Son of England playing as a Knight
Ryse: Son of America playing as a Native American warrior mixing bow and axes
Ryse: Son of Japan playing as a Samurai warrior
Ryse: Son of Africa playing as an African warrior with a spear and shield
I’m hoping the Crytek leak from a few years ago turns out to be 100% true (which thus far, it has been) as that would include Ryse Next. Don’t know about afterwards but at this point, just seeing it return would be a step in the right direction.
The first one had some great moments, but that combat could do with a more diversity. That would go a long way. Imagine if God of War only had a few moves and that’s about it.
I wouldn’t mind Ryse returning (as the IP has quite a bit of potential), but they’d have to really step up the game for it to gain traction. Honestly thought it was one of the most boring games I’ve played, and while the story had some good moments, I didn’t find it to be anything special either. I did quite like the setting at the very least.
Rumor is that a sequel is being made. I really liked the first one. It definitely deserved a sequel imho. I think it could help having Hellblade and this as sword-based combat games for covering that sub-genre. Always good to have a couple franchises in a space just in case plus they can build off each other.
