Of the many properties that fall under Bethesda’s umbrella,Brinkis a rather unusual title. Originally developed by Splash Damage and released in 2011,Brinkwas a first-person shooter that had players fighting against each other by way of opposing factions within a floating city called The Ark, which was built on top of the ruins of a flooded Earth. WhileBrinkwent unnoticed for the most part, it isn’t without its fans, as evidenced by the recent actions of one gamer in particular.
In truth, there are many that considerBrinkto be ahead of its time, but there were also many popular games in circulation during the period that shared the same genre and design elements, such asCounterStrike: Global OffensiveandTeam Fortress 2, that simply had much more eyes on them. However, there are many who want a sequel toBrink,with one specific fan making quite the public display over it.

Over on Reddit, a user aptly named Brink_2_ has, for the last several days, been posting images of an ever-growing pile ofBrinkcopies in the hopes that Bethesda will give consideration to making aBrinksequel. The first copy was acquired nine days ago, and since then, the total number of copies has increased to ten.
So far, the user has only purchased ten copies ofBrink, but if the user is consistent, this could really garner a lot of online traction. After all, there have been numerous similar campaigns done by individual users in order to call attention to certain games. For instance, one fan has been drawing the same character for over two years in response toHollow Knight Silksong’sslow development cycle.
Then again, aBrinksequel doesn’t seem too far out of the realm of possibility. After all, many players weren’t expecting a sequel to the originalRage, yet Bethesda ultimately releasedRage 2nearly eight years later. However, aBrinksequel likely won’t happen anytime soon, given the sheer number of projects the publisher is currently working on, such asRedfall, Starfield,andThe Elder Scrolls 6.
It’s amazing to see how much variance Bethesda’s projects have had over the years. Titles likeDeathloop, Prey,andGhostwire: Tokyoall possess certain eccentricities that aren’t exactly present in previous Bethesda games. Thus, it’s possible that a return toBrinkcould provide a unique opportunity to do something different while also re-introducing the series to a new audience.
Brinkis available on PC (free-to-play), PS3, and Xbox 360.
