Ubisoft Has No Plans to Make Blood Dragon 2
Ubisoft revealed that they have no plans to make Blood Dragon 2. Alex Hutchinson revealed this sad news during a special Happy Hour podcast for Far Cry 4.

Hopefully we can come up with something that surprises you as much as the original blood dragon. And if we did make one, I'll probably... -

This is mainly for those in Europe that are seeing an increase of about 10 Euros on these games. I do not know what these games were selling for on Steam in Europe prior to this happening, so I...

March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.
Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
