The Unfulfilled Potential of The Order: 1886 and the Death of Ready At Dawn – 3 Reasons Why a Sequel Could Have Been Great

When The Order: 1886 was released in 2015, it was met with a mixed reception. Players praised its display of the PS4’s hardware capabilities. The game had stunning visuals and a great setting but fell short in its gameplay and story.
Despite this, the game’s unique steampunk vision of an alternate London is something that fans wanted more of. The game’s developer, Ready At Dawn, had plans for a sequel that could have done that. But with the recent closure of Ready At Dawn by Meta, those plans will never see the light of day.
1. The Story Had Unfinished Business
One of the reasons why a sequel to The Order: 1886 could have been great lies in the lessons learned from the original. The narrative depth of The Order: 1886 was something that could have been expanded upon in a sequel.
The original game ended on a cliffhanger, leaving many plot threads unresolved.
