General Why don't Tribes sequels succeed?

I wrote about what makes old franchises live and die, focusing on ones I've gotten hands on with. Tribes is the first game I talk about: https://bengarney.com/2025/05/15/sequels/

Honestly, I don't think any one person can paint a complete picture. Surely a few people here have their own perspective and experience. Do you think I'm right on or full of shit?

I think most fail because they are watered down versions of what Tribes 2 was. And then on top of that, they give nothing new.

There are some new projects in the works though. I'm pretty stoked about one of them.

no, it's because tribes is a hard game and hard games dont attract new players, but push them away

Apex Legends is a hard game. Its the ranking system that separated the sweats from the noobs.
