Forgotten Insomniac Game Sunset Overdrive is Back on the Agenda

Insomniac Games, while sharing nostalgic posts about its past games, suddenly mentioned Sunset Overdrive, sending social media into a frenzy. While this exceptional Xbox exclusive had been forgotten for years, a tweet from the developer has revived the possibility of a remaster or PS5 port. While there’s no definitive explanation, hopes have been rekindled.

Will Sunset Overdrive Return?

Sunset Overdrive, a game developed by Insomniac Games before its acquisition by PlayStation, was notable for its energetic and chaotic nature. Although it’s considered an Xbox exclusive, the copyrights still belong to Insomniac, meaning there’s technically no obstacle to a sequel or remaster.

While Insomniac is busy with major projects like Spider-Man 3, Wolverine, and a new Ratchet & Clank game, the studio’s occasional nostalgic posts are giving fans hope. Last year, when a user asked about a PS5 port, the response was, “You’re busy.” However, with Xbox games now being ported to PlayStation, the possibility doesn’t seem far-fetched.

While the tweet didn’t directly announce any new content, fans have formed a camp in the comments. Some want a remaster, others a direct sequel. Perhaps the studio’s schedule, especially after the cancellation of live service projects, could allow room for such a surprise.

While Sunset Overdrive’s resurgence remains speculation, the fact that even a single tweet has generated so much excitement demonstrates the game’s popularity. Expectations are sky-high, and all eyes are on Insomniac.
