Insomniac Games Pitched Resistance 4, But Never Got It Approved

Insomniac Games' Ted Price reveals a cancelled Resistance 4

Insomniac Games founder and retiring president, Ted Price, recently revealed in an interview with Kinda Funny Games that a Resistance 4 pitch was unfortunately never approved. While the concept was lauded internally as "wonderful," the timing and market conditions weren't favorable.

Price expressed the team's strong desire to continue the Resistance storyline, highlighting its unique alternate history setting and the untapped potential of the Chimera's origins and future narratives.

The Resistance series, a trilogy of first-person shooters, was developed by Insomniac for the PlayStation 3. The games depict an alternate 1951 where aliens invade the UK. Following the Resistance trilogy, Insomniac shifted focus to other projects, including the acclaimed Marvel's Spider-Man series and new Ratchet & Clank installments.

Price's retirement announcement earlier this year marked the end of his 30-year tenure at Insomniac. Chad Dezern, Ryan Schneider, and Jen Huang have been appointed as the studio's new Co-Studio Heads.

Insomniac's latest release, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, recently launched on PC, and Marvel's Wolverine is anticipated as their next major title.
