Sunset Overdrive 2 Could Happen With the Right Publisher
Insomniac CEO Ted Price has once again explained that his company is open to making a sequel to Sunset Overdrive, but would "need a partner for that".
Speaking on Insomniac's Twitch stream, Price was asked whether any of the studio's owned IP could make a return:
"Sunset
is something that I know a lot of our fans talk about wanting to see the sequel," he responded. "We need a partner for that. That's a big game; Sunset 2 would be a very large-scope game."
He continued by explaining that because the company wholly owns the IP, a new publisher could mean a sequel would appear across multiple platforms, moving away from the first game's Xbox One exclusivity.

Sonic Forces’ Switch Demo Has a 1-Minute Time Limit
A demo for Sonic Forces has made its way to the Japanese Nintendo eShop ahead of its release next month, but it leaves much to be desired.
As GameXplain discovered, the demo offers three stages to play, but players will struggle to finish any of the levels - after 60 seconds of playtime the game fades out and plays a cutscene before booting you back to the menu screen. Kind of incredibly, that cutscene is longer than the amount of time you're allowed to actually play.
You can only download the preview on the Japanese eShop, which involves creating a new Nintendo Account for the region - find out how to do that with our guide.
