I’m saddened to see Insomniac being relegated to being a Marvel studio, but hard to blame them when it seems Rift Apart failed to break even.

At least we’ll eventually get a new release of the franchise. Shows 2029, but a lot can change in 6 years.

That's without the PC port in consideration. If we go by the PC port they're probably breaking even for the game and maybe profitable in the future. I'd say its probably why the franchise is taking the back seat for a few years. Especially with how well the Spider-Man games are selling and decent ROI.

They've basically turned into a Marvel factory which for me is fine as I like the franchise still (just not the movies/shows). But a few I guess don't like that or have franchise fatigue.

I wouldn’t bet on that. Miles Morales peaked at 13K players on Steam and has sold 450K copies in total on Steam whereas Rift Apart peaked at 8K players. And the game dropped off on Steam’s top sellers after the first week. It doesn’t look like it moved the needle much on PC. Hopefully it at least broke even. It was a fantastic game.

i don’t mind the occasional Marvel or even licensed IP in general as it’s nice to change things up from time to time, but if that’s mostly all you’re working on, I’ll get tired of it after a few releases. I was hoping a Sunset Overdrive 2 was going to happen at some point. The game was such a breath of fresh air with so much potential on a sequel. 

I am interested in an X-Men game to see how many characters Insomniac can squeeze in there the likes we haven’t seen in gaming before. That’s a long way off though.
