Ru Weerasuriya says early designs for larger battles with multiplayer were shelved after the game’s 63 Metacritic score halted the project.

Overview

  • The creative director penned a 10-page pitch outlining two follow-up titles, The Order:1891 and The Order:1899.
  • Development on the immediate sequel reached only preliminary stages before Sony pulled the plug over lukewarm reviews.
  • Co-founder Andrea Pessino has said Sony required a Metacritic score in the 70s to greenlight a second game, but The Order 1886 landed at 63 despite stronger internal feedback.
  • Weerasuriya had mapped narrative arcs stretching into the 20th century, though none moved beyond conceptual planning.
  • Ready at Dawn shifted to VR after 2015, was acquired by Meta in 2020 and shuttered in August 2024; Sir Galahad later appeared as a collectible in Astro Bot.
