I don't think so. The only scenario would be if some amazing VR-system got released and the developers either created a VR-DLC for NS2 or a port to the new platform.

Team Fortress Classic is better than Team Fortress 2 by the way.

We can enjoy both, and we can point out flaws of both. No need for comparisons, friend.

Speaking of classics, I feel I wanna try my hand at the original NS if I were to ever set foot in NS2. How lively is the original NS? Not that much, I like to imagine, but still people there, yes?

TL;DR "Would they? Be pretty neat."

I remember seeing this game back in the day and thinking how cool it was, unaware of it's legacy as a popular Gold Source Mod.
After recently getting back into TF2 after 7 years, I've developed an interest in Multiplayer/Co-op games I wanted to look into.
(DRG, PD2, Killing Floor 1/2, etc.)

Then remembering Natural Selection 2's existence got me thinking;
Would they ever do a "Natural Selection 3", or have they moved on to other things/new interests?

They made Subnautica, which did vastly better.

Subnautica - Over 5,000,000 copies sold
NS2 - Over 300,000 copies sold

There is no real reason for them to continue working on a unsuccessful game series.

I doubt it, as much as I do like to see a new NS.

The developers love the game, but from a business standpoint they need to keep the lights on. Wouldn't be surprised if they just focus on singleplayer/coop games now.

Love the game? Didnt they say the wouldnt be creating any more games with guns? Like a basic marine gun verse an alien is that bad.

Im pretty sure that was only for Subnauctica, since its not a very shooty shooty bang bang type of game.

Every e-sport focused game fails or barely survives with a very niche community.
NS2 had a low player count after few weeks.
I highly doubt they'll learn from that mistake, hell their CEO Charlie Cleveland went on a rant against guns due to sandy hook, firmly indicating that he believes in the fairytale that removing legally owned guns will also remove the illegal ones owned by criminals. Which already indicates the CEO himself cant think for himself.
Which will lead to ....

If they do Natural Selection 2, it'll probably be a battle royale or whatever other supposed fotm flavor of gaming has the biggest spotlight at that time.
It'll prob have some great mechanics like NS1 and 2 did, most of the devs themselves arent bad after all, but it'll bomb.
