Sony has no plans to continue Resistance franchise
Publisher gives up on shooter franchise
Sony has confirmed they have no plans to continue Insomniac Games' Resistance franchise.
SCEE's Online producer Daniel Brooke stated that while it's been exciting to see the IP come into fruition, which saw the release of five installments, there's seemingly no future for the series.
"The Resistance franchise has been exciting to work on but as for the future we have no definitive plans."
Five Resistance games have been released within the PlayStation family, with the first three major iterations launching on the PlayStation 3, one on the PSP and Burning Skies on the PlayStation Vita.
Following the release of Resistance 3, Insomniac left the series with studio head Ted Price stressing that they felt Resistance had "reached its logical conclusion in terms of the story that we wanted to tell". As for the shooter's commercial performance and indeed one of the reasons why Sony has ended the IP, it sold less than 200,000 units during its launch month in September, 2011.

Resistance 2 is the best in the trilogy so far! I haven't played Vita Resistance yet...Hope it doesn't use the 'Cartoonish graphics' from 3....
a ps4 reboot could be something special though.
