Sunset Overdrive is arguably one of the best Xbox One exclusives ever made, but since it's release in late October of 2014 there's been no signs of Microsoft pulling the trigger on a sequel.

The game was made by Insomniac Games, a developer habitually known for producing some of the most successful exclusives on PlayStation consoles.

They were behind the Resistance Fall of Man series as well as several Ratchet & Clank releases. They're even developing a fantastic looking Spider-Man game for PS4 that was announced at E3 last year.

It's surprising Microsoft haven't chosen to green light a sequel for Sunset, but according to Insomniac president Ted Price, the franchise isn't dead.

Here's what Ted Price said when asked about a possible sequel by Game Informer:

"You’d have to ask Microsoft," explained Price.

"We are passionate about that franchise, and we own it, so you may see more Sunset in the future from us.

"No promises, and no timeline to speak of, but it is something that represents our willingness to create unexpected experiences."

This wouldn't be the first time the developer has seemingly dobbed Microsoft in it.

In September of last year, the developer said that they'd like to bring Sunset Overdrive to PC.

However, they said any plans for the game to come to PC but said at the time that the "ball is in Xbox's court on it."

But here's the good news.

As explained by Ted Price, Insomniac actually owns the property and that means a possible sequel could come to PS4 in the future.

It's strange that given the Xbox One is severely lacking first-party games beyond the staple Halo, Gears of War, and Forza series, why Microsoft haven't contacted Insomniac about a sequel.

But should they fail to, we'd love to see long-time Insomniac friends at Sony picking up the pieces for the PS4.
