In a 2012 PlayStation blogpost ([http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/27/primal-ps2-cult-classic-comes-to-psn-tuesday/ located here]) written by Chris Sorrell, the creative director of Primal, Mark Gibbons - the lead artist behind ''Primal'' - expanded upon the comments Paul Donovan made in 2005. Gibbons confirmed that once Primal had been finished, there was some preliminary work made upon a sequel. Gibbons also revealed some of what Primal II's story would have been about; that it would have featured [[Jen]]’s lover [[Lewis]] as the central character, and would have told the story of Lewis' journey through [[Oblivion]]’s version of Hell, back to [[Jen]] in [[Mortalis]]. | In a 2012 PlayStation blogpost ([http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/27/primal-ps2-cult-classic-comes-to-psn-tuesday/ located here]) written by Chris Sorrell, the creative director of Primal, Mark Gibbons - the lead artist behind ''Primal'' - expanded upon the comments Paul Donovan made in 2005.

{{Quote|If there were to be a Primal 2 it should feature Jen. …Well I do agree with that one. Further to the comments by Mark, yes we did explore a Primal 2 with Lewis as a lead character. We also explored another take that had Jen as lead and centred on the notion that the demons of Oblivion had found a way through into our world. That one had some cool imagery that I recall – Jen in a flowing leather coat riding a spike-wheeled moto-X bike, Prince Jared driving to Jen’s rescue in an ice-cream truck (garbled music blaring) and sub-way tunnels teeming with spider-like Wraith mutants.|Chris Sorrell on ''Primal 2''}} | {{Quote|If there were to be a Primal 2 it should feature Jen. …Well I do agree with that one.
