Really hope to be wrong

I think there have been rumors about a new Ape Escape, and talk about Sly Cooper.
So it is not impossible for those.


My sad Franchise picks that are likely never coming back would be (even though they should):

Chrono series, Suikoden, Legend of Dragoon, Breath of Fire, Xenogears.

Alot of old good PS1 games, could do with a reboot or restart of the series.

Chrono Trigger is probably being remade/remastered, but yeah the series is probably done.

Suikoden Star Leap just released in Japan for mobile and PC. It seems to be a great game and is faithful to the originals (S1/2 art and gameplay style, charming, good story, canon) but with some of the standard f2p caveats. I think the odds are decent that a console Suikoden 6 is coming at some point in the future.

Capcom keeps bringing old games back, so I imagine Breath of Fire will return if maybe briefly and as a low budget spinoff.

Legend of Dragoon and Xenogears aren't returning. But neither is a "franchise". Xenogears may get remade/remastered though.
