Making this list because i find interesting.

- The franchise must have at least 2 games
- + 7 years since the last game and no news about a new game
- remakes counts as a New game, ports and remasters* don't
- If the last game is a non controversial very shitty game, the last game will be the last good/ok game, and the very bad game will be in the separate list at the end

Name of the franchise/ last game/ first date of Release of the last game

Are five years without a game enough to consider it dead? Seems a bit soonish

I feel like a lot of those listed have at least a chance of coming back, while something like No One Lives Forever has no shot.

Mercenaries - Mercenaries 2: Aug. 31, 2008.

A brilliant first game by Pandemic Studios, with a sub-par second game that probably led to EA murdering the dev, as they always do.

RIP

Mana series (No, the SoM remake and the mobile games don't count).

Megaman X :(
I mean, Megaman X8 was the last canon in the X series, but then Megaman X Maverick Hunter was released for the PSP, so I guess we can count that one as the last entry in the series? Nonetheless, the Megaman X series is now dead :(. I will always pretend X6 never existed.
