Remakes, re-releases, and remasters have become a backbone of the games industry as older gamers look to share their favorites with a younger generation. While many folks might not want to admit it, nostalgia can be a great experience for games. Still, it would be nice to see the franchise’s return, and there are more than a few reasons why its resurrection would be better than letting it remain dead.
MIDNIGHT CLUB 2 REMASTERED FULL
Rockstar has had two major titles receiving full support for the past few years. While this may be disheartening, it is important to remember it can take a long time for games to be developed. So far, though, news on any new releases or remakes has been quiet.
MIDNIGHT CLUB 2 REMASTERED SERIES
This led some fans to believe that the series was on its way back. In 2013, the trademark for Midnight Club was renewed, and later a domain was bought for "Midnight Club Online" around the same time that R ed Dead Online’s domain was also purchased. Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive has also fanned those flames a couple of times. Whispers have circulated about the series and fan speculation has kept hope alive that one day it will return.

While not the most technically advanced or detailed installment in the series, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix felt like the franchise’s start onto bigger games and more fleshed-out maps. For many, the third game’s remix, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix, was the pinnacle of the series and a game that they remember fondly. The first Midnight Club game was released in 2000, and would go on to receive six other installments over the next decade.
In the early and mid-2000s, there were tons of racing games, and Rockstar Games jumped into the genre with the release of Midnight Club: Street Racing. While Grand Theft Auto 5 has been a huge success, and the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online has taken the world by storm, a smaller Rockstar franchise has fallen off the radar. Both series have been critical and financial successes, making their continued support a logical move. Rockstar Games has become known for its two powerhouse franchises in Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto.
