Status: Lost
Rise of Nations is a 2003 real time strategy game developed by Big Huge Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The game was critically acclaimed and is considered one of the best real time strategy games ever made. An expansion Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots, was released in 2004, and a spin-off, Rise of Legends was released in 2006.
However, not many people know that there was a proposed sequel to the game, only known as Rise of Nations 2. Little is known about this lost game, as the only proof of its existence is on a Steam discussions post where a now defunct user linked three screenshots presumed to belong to the lost game.
