The Black and White series was originally hyped by the always passionate Peter Molyneux. Back in 2001, the first Black and White was being hyped up to be the greatest game of all time. Since then, a sequel was released in 2005 called Black and White 2, which was even more forgotten. Was this a worthy sequel to step the genre forward, or did the series once again fall short of expectations?

    Ooooh, we’ve got this notion

    That we’d quite like to sail the ocean

    So we’re building a big boat to leave here for good.

      Black & White 3 should open on these guys finally reaching new land where the next god begins.

        As amazing as this would be, I don’t think I want a Black and White 3 in today’s market. You probably will get 1 type of creature and additional creatures are gonna be a micro transaction.

          You forgot the holy battle pass for exclusive creature skins. That’s too pessimistic. Maybe it’s been a while since I played them, but I think Black & White 1 + 2 had the scope of what an ambitious indie game is capable of today. Or a (these days) rare “AA” budget game. A modern B&W could be similarly scaled to the originals, but expanding on them creatively. Though of course the IP would never be granted to indie devs if anyone still holds the rights of Lionhead Studios.
