Rumored Sequel
In February 2006, publisher Activision hinted that a sequel may be on the way. More rumors began in September 2007 when a poster for Gun: Magruder's Ghost was spotted in a demo for Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, also a Neversoft title. IGN has also added the game as "other game by Activision". According to Joystiq, Activision apparently hinted during a 2006 financial conference that a sequel may be in production. However, no official announcements regarding a Gun sequel have yet been made.
More rumors spread when Activision took its internal studio Neversoft off the Tony Hawk franchise in early 2009, putting out job requests and hiring new staff. As spotted by Internet sleuthing blog Superannuation, Neversoft job listings indicated that the studio is gearing up for a "new action shooter game." Neversoft posted a number of positions for the project, including a Senior Designer, Lead Multiplayer Designer, Level Designer, and Scripter. GameSpot discovered that the job listings indicate that the game will feature single and multiplayer components. Neversoft's project will apparently carry a "realistic" aesthetic, though no other context for this design philosophy was forthcoming. "A revival of that franchise isn't out of the question, considering the recent success of Rockstar San Diego's similarly themed Red Dead Redemption", said Gamespot.
