Vanquish, the fast-paced action game from Platinum Games, earned relatively positive reviews from critics back when it released in 2010, and now it appears as though fans will finally get a sequel. According to recent rumors, Vanquish 2 is in development, and it’s coming exclusively to Xbox One.

This is according to self-described industry insider Marcus Sellars, who has earned a reputation of being a fairly accurate leaker of video game news. While Sellars didn’t offer any additional details on the game, one has to imagine that a potential Vanquish 2 would likely be very similar to the over-the-top, cover-based shooter action seen in the first game.

Another hint that there could be some truth to this Vanquish 2 rumor is the recent addition of the original Vanquish to the Xbox One backward compatibility list. If Microsoft was looking to fund Vanquish 2 as an Xbox One exclusive, then it would make sense for it to make the original game playable on the platform.

Of course, it could just be a coincidence that Vanquishwas added to the Xbox One backward compatibility list right around the time Sellars made his claims about a sequel. Considering this, fans may want to keep their expectations in check until Platinum Games, Microsoft, or Sega officially announce Vanquish 2. More and Gamerant.com

Would be odd if this was true considering the whole scalebound deal, but I wouldn't exactly complain if it this did happen.

The first game was alright so I'd maybe check out a sequel on the Xbone.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's a possibility. Platinum Games functions basically on the funded support of other companies. Now that Nintendo claimed Bayonetta, I see a possible trend other companies can claim their Platinum IP. I think Vanquish is a good fit for the Xbox brand.

It would entertain the shit out of me if this became true and all the Nintendo fans sitting on their pedestal fighting off Bayonetta 2 & 3 beggars to suddenly beg for Vanquish.
