In theory it's possible, but don't get your hopes up.

Microsoft probably has right of first refusal for future titles.


I thought they (MS) were hailed as heroes for giving freedom to third party devs and letting them retain their IP's unlike the evil Sony who forced them to work on Sony IP's for over a decade.

IF thats true, then MS wouldnt have any right to refusal for a future sequel.

Personally I dont think there will even be a sequel because the first will flop and no-one will want to fund the second and insomniac wont have the cash to fund it themselves.

Why does it have to be one or the other? And why would controlling the IP mean it can't be an exclusive game? Look at Gears of War.

Controlling your own IP is just as much about the creative freedom that comes with it, which pas dividends not only with any future Sunset games, but also the one they are currently working on. So they could have a multi game deal with MS or even have a right to refusal deal with MS, yet still enjoy the perks of controlling their own IP.
