Especially in triple A gaming?
Also take into account FF7 remake, each game is looking to be about 4 years apart. It’s about to be 2022 almost 2 years since the original with no episode 2 announced and even if it is announced this year I have doubts about it releasing in 2023. By the time they finish the trilogy, the first game will always be dated. Odds are if there is a 3rd game it will launch on next gen consoles, ps6/xboxtwo.
Same with The Last of Us. I maybe give this a little bit more grace since I’m not sure if it was originally planned as a trilogy but now hearing Neil Druckmann say they are just now finished with the script, odds are it will once again release at the end of this generation if not the next.
So by the time a gave dev finishes the last installment in a trilogy they are already thinking about remaking the first game. Long gone are the days of GoW 1-3, Mass Effect 1-3, gears, Ucharted, dark souls, etc, even though some of those games spanded across two gens, they still didn’t take 13-15 years.
This isn’t even AAA gaming, even indie games. Hollow Knight came out in 2017, Silksong still has no release date, if it were to do a third game i wouldn’t expect it until the end of the generation.
It’s gotten so bad that people are actually surprised when gaming sequels look similar to the first game, (BoTW, GoWR) because everyone i used to a gaming sequel being a gigantic graphical leap due to the transition of gaming between development.
In an interview with YouTube Kaptain Kuba, the reboot's director Cory Barlog explained that given how long each game has so far taken to make, a full trilogy with a single story would have likely spanned roughly 15 years.
"I feel like that's just too stretched out. Like, I feel like we’re asking too much, to say the actual completion of that story taking that long just feels too long, and given sort of where the team was at and where Eric was at with what he wanted to do, I was like, look, I think we can actually do this in the second story," he said.
