Insomniac Games has been around for quite some time, and in that time the studio has managed to put quite a few successful franchises under its belt. The upcoming Spider-Man game may be one of its most anticipated titles ever, but games like Spyro and Ratchet and Clank stand out as equally impressive accomplishments for one of the most decorated studios of all time. There is, however, one other franchise Insomniac is known for, the alternate history shooter Resistance, and a member of the studio has finally commented on the likelihood of getting a fourth entry in the franchise.

When asked about the possibility of Resistance 4, James Stevenson, Insomniac's community director, said that while nothing is impossible, the studio currently has no plans to make another entry in the franchise.

It feels like it’s a longshot to me. But I have learned over the years to never say never. I think there are a lot of people out there that have fond memories of a Resistance game from the PS3 era, but yeah, never say never, it’s just that we have no plans to make another Resistance game in the future.

Stevenson also dismissed the possibility of having an outside studio develop another entry in the franchise, as was the case of Resistance: Burning Skies, a PSP game developed in 2012 by Sony's Bend Studio, which is currently working on the zombie game Days Gone. Stevenson did, however, add that Sony is the actual owner of the property, and could, therefore, allow any outside studio to develop the game if they felt another entry was particularly necessary.

The Resistance franchise may not be entirely dead, but it is disappointing to see Sony and Insomniac sit on such an interesting IP. Alternate timeline games are interesting, though few and far between simply because not many games have managed to get the genre right beyond the likes of Wolfenstein.

No Resistance game has been released since the launch of the PS4, meaning that there's an entire potential untapped market for a sequel or even a remaster of the original the original PS3 game. Sony did renew the copyright a few years ago, stirring up rumors at the time another entry could've been upon us. It seems that time has come and gone now, and the odds of getting anything new are incredibly slim. At least there's still Spider-Man to look forward to.
