In 2005 Paul Donovan (senior programmer at SCEE Cambridge) posted in a Usenet | In 2005, [[Paul Donovan]] (former senior programmer at SCEE Cambridge) posted in a Usenet newsgroup that the developers had once started working on some ideas for a sequel to ''Primal''. Donovan commented that they had completed some prototypes of some new gameplay features. The developers then received the license to make a videogame adaptation of the television show, ''24'', this in turn ceased the development of ''Primal 2'', and all focus was diverted to ''[[24: The Game]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://groups.google.com/g/uk.games.video.playstation/c/O_fIKZhPdzw/m/PXETEFnrDKIJ|site=uk.games.video.playstation|title=Oh, Mr. Donovan!|published=October 13, 2005|retrieved=July 1, 2023}}</ref> | ||
In a 2012 PlayStation | In a 2012 PlayStation.Blog post 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 2'''s story would have been about; that it would have featured [[Primal:Jen|Jen]]'s lover [[Primal:Lewis|Lewis]] as the central character, and would have told the story of Lewis' journey through [[Primal:Oblivion|Oblivion]]'s version of Hell, back to Jen in [[Primal:Mortalis|Mortalis]].<ref name="blog">{{cite web|url=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/27/primal-ps2-cult-classic-comes-to-psn-tuesday/|site=PlayStation.Blog|title=Primal: PS2 Cult Classic Comes to PSN Tuesday|author=Sorrell, Chris|published=February 27, 2012|retrieved=July 1, 2023}}</ref> | ||
Gibbons' mention of a sequel captivated fans' interest within the blog's comment section. Chris Sorrell then decided to satisfy readers by providing a more in-depth look at what ''Primal 2'' would have featured. Sorrell confirmed that one take included Lewis as a protagonist, however, another idea that was explored would have had Jen as protagonist, but with the story taking place in Mortalis, rather than Oblivion and would have seen Oblivion demons, such as [[Primal:Jared|Jared]], making their way to our world: | Gibbons' mention of a sequel captivated fans' interest within the blog's comment section.

{{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.| | {{Quote|If there were to be a Primal 2 it should feature Jen. …Well I do agree with that one.
