The PS4 exclusive game that stood out for its graphics was close to getting a sequel. Ru Weerasiriya, former art director of The Order 1886, revealed this in a YouTube video on Julien Chièze’s channel. Weerasiriya said the game was planned as a trilogy, with The Order 1891 and The Order 1899 as the next two installments.
The sequel was canceled early in development. It would have expanded the game’s combat and added a multiplayer mode. This mode was initially planned for the first game but didn’t make it in. The third game wasn’t started at all. Weerasiriya also wrote a story for The Order franchise set in the 20th century.
The Game’s History
The Order 1886 is an action game set in a fantasy version of Victorian London. Players control a special unit investigating a dark, hidden story. The game was known for its beautiful graphics on the PS4. However, it didn’t get a good response from players, and we still haven’t seen a sequel.
Weerasiriya’s interview gives us a glimpse into what could have been. The planned trilogy would have taken the game’s story further, exploring new themes and gameplay mechanics. The cancellation of the sequel left fans wondering what could have been.
What We Missed
The multiplayer mode would have added a new layer to the game. Players could have fought together, taking on the game’s challenges as a team. This would have given the game a new lease on life, attracting players who enjoy multiplayer games.
The story set in the 20th century could have been a fascinating twist. It would have taken the game’s world in a new direction, exploring different themes and ideas. This could have appealed to players looking for something new and different.
The game’s graphics were a highlight, showing what the PS4 could do. The Order 1886 was a showcase for the console’s capabilities, and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see more of it.
In the end, we’re left with what could have been. The Order 1886 was a game with a lot of potential, and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see it realized.
