Sequel Possibilities
A Sequel???

Yes, in the final cutscene after the credits. Makes me sad to watch it.

In fact, in terms of story there's a whole lot that could still be told. Jen and Lewis' ancestry, for one. Lady Arella may have her general back, but still doesn't have an army. Solum and Aquis aren't in the best of shape, either.

Elizabeth is now the ruler of Aetha, probably headed for this result: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Countess

Back when the game came out the Usenet newsgroups were still active. One of the programmers posted that they'd even started working on some ideas for a sequel. Then they got the license for 24 and focused on making 24: The Game (2006). All I know about that is that was Andreas Katsulas final performace. R.I.P. that same year.

And here's the post. Google Groups was kind for once.

Oh, Mr. Donovan!

Sorry, afraid not. We were playing around with ideas for a Primal 2 and did some prototypes of some new features but then we got the 24 license so we did that instead :-)
