Insomniac Pitched Resistance 4 to Sony

Insomniac Games' Ted Price reveals a cancelled Resistance 4

Insomniac Games founder and retiring president Ted Price, in a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games, revealed that a Resistance 4 pitch was unfortunately never approved. While the concept was deemed "wonderful," Price cited timing and market opportunity as factors preventing its development.

He expressed the team's strong desire to continue the Resistance storyline, highlighting the series' 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 Games for the PlayStation 3. The games depict an alternate 1951 where aliens invade the UK. Following the Resistance trilogy, Insomniac shifted focus to projects like the Marvel's Spider-Man franchise and new Ratchet & Clank installments.

Price's retirement from Insomniac Games after a 30-year tenure was announced earlier this year. Chad Dezern, Ryan Schneider, and Jen Huang have been appointed as Co-Studio Heads to succeed him. Insomniac's latest release, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, recently launched on PC, with Marvel's Wolverine slated as their next project.
