"We are passionate about that franchise, and we own it, so you may see more Sunset in the future from us," Price said. We asked Insomniac president Ted Price why there has been no movement on a sequel, and he replied, "You'd have to ask Microsoft." But with or without Microsoft's participation, Sunset Overdrive may grind again.
But more than two years removed from its launch, the franchise is still dormant. For a console that lacks defining first-party games beyond the Halo, Gears of War, and Forza franchises, the Insomniac Games title seemed like a natural candidate to receive a sequel.
Tempted to try Sunset Overdrive for yourself? Watch Eurogamer play through its first two hours in the video below.Sunset Overdrive was one of the surprise success stories of the early Xbox One era, winning over critics with its irreverent attitude and fast-paced gameplay. At the time, Microsoft told Eurogamer that their listing on some console dashboards had appeared "in error". Xbox One owners spotted back in August that Microsoft had quietly begun testing 24-hour game unlocks. Your progress will also be saved after the trial period ends, should you buy the full game at a later date. You will be able to unlock Achievements and try out the game's online multiplayer mode as normal. Perhaps set your alarm clock to get up a little early - the digital version of Sunset Overdrive is a 23.17 GB download, although you won't need to have all of that installed to begin playing. Gold members can first download their free copy starting from 5.01am UK time tomorrow, Saturday 22nd November, and continue playing until the same time on Sunday. The offer lasts 24 hours and is part of Microsoft's celebrations for the Xbox One's first anniversary, company mouthpiece Major Nelson has announced. Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive will be free to download and play for all Xbox Live Gold subscribers tomorrow.
