Total Overdose 2: Tequila Gunrise [Cancelled – Xbox 360 PS3]

Total Overdose 2: Tequila Gunrise [Cancelled – Xbox 360 PS3]

Total Overdose 2: Tequila Gunrise is a cancelled open world action adventure that was in development by Deadline Games in 2006 for the PS2 and PC, but soon moved to next-gen consoles (Playstation 3 and Xbox 360) before being canned. The project was a sequel to the original Total Overdose, a combo-focused action game with over-the-top gunfights that was published by Sci Entertainment / Eidos in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 and XBOX.

Deadline Games started to work on an updated Total Overdose graphic engine to use it in this next gen sequel, but the game was never finished. It seems that their publishers were not interested in a sequel, so the team moved their resources on new original projects. As we can read from an old Gamespot interview with Deadline Games’s former CEO Chris Mottes:

GS: And can we assume that your next game is going to be a quality action title?

CM: I would almost guarantee it.

GS: Tell us what little you can about the project.

CM: It’s a game that is set in an environment similar to Total Overdose, although the project is very different. We’re actually, I have to say, not doing Total Overdose 2, which a lot of people seem to still assume, because unfortunately Eidos pulled out of that, and you know, once bitten, twice shy. So, the next project is an action game, and it’s going to be based on some really cool things that happened in the real world.

On May 2009, Deadline Games filed for bankruptcy, only a few months after releasing Watchmen: The End Is Nigh. The company has previously been reported to have been struggling to find new projects and publishers for their games. Shadow Hunter, Faith and a .45, Killing Pablo Escobar and Total Overdose 2: Tequila Gunrise, vanished with the closure of the studio.

Thanks a lot to Jonas Springborg and Adam Rishede for the help in preserving their artworks created for this project! Some more images are from Carsten Brandt’s website. All images are copyrighted Deadline Games.

  1. Overdosed

    Total Overdose wasn’t exactly a ‘GTA Clone’. It only had a similar art style, but was a lineair, combo-focussed action game.

  2. Vicente

    well, total overdose was´t exactly linear, it was like GTA, you could go around in the city, do the mission and special missions.

    the psp version, called chilli con carnage, a re imagination of the total overdose, was linear.

  3. ToAks

    WTF???? Total Overdose was made by the same guys that did Watchmen`??

    Total Overdose was awesome.
    Watchmen was maybe one of the worst games i have played the last 5 years

  4. Danny

    It`s sad they never launched a sequel . Total Overdose was the best action game I ever played, I still play it even 6 years after it was launched . Total overdose 2 would have been awesome

    Total Overdose totally rocks. Never played a better game. All fun and action. Publishers and Deadline should really take it up for a sequel

  11. Narendra kumar

    After reading this page I am very sad because I am the person till today don’t know that TOD’s sequel is not done The people who loved games will never forget TOtal OVerdose and really want that if sequel is not done another game with the same adventure.

  12. No-One

    Total Overdose was one of the most fun games I’ve ever played – it even had that mental wrestler and zombie mini game in it. Sad to see no sequel :(
    Another great game that not many people know about was No-one Lives Forever – but at least they made a sequel to that. Some of the funniest character conversations you can listen in on!

  15. Rick

    You know what? We should make a fundraiser or something like that to gather enough funds for some video game studio to catch the attention and finally work on the game! That’s how some modern games are made and actually accomplished, thanks to fundraisers and stuff (sorry I forgot the name of it lol).

  16. shoeb

    J’avais joué à l’époque sur pc et franchement le jeu , ce jeu à percé mon enfance, je le finissais à répétition , j’adorais ça. Les années passées, Je suis attristé qu’une suite n’a jamais vu le jour, je regrette tellement même si je n’ai pas encore jouer à Chili con carnage. Si personne ne veut prendre le risque de finir la suite, un jour ou l’autre, un passionné terminera l’histoire de Tequila Sunrise, même si ça prendra du temps, j’y crois l’espoir fait vivre !

  21. Abhinav Kumar

    total overdose is the best game i ever played i can say that you can name the next game as the legend of Tommy

  22. Surya

    The best action game i have ever played and i still play that game even after 13 years of it’s release… Please complete the sequel TOD 2..

  23. Said

    Je jure que ce jeux m’a vraiment changer le cerveau je n’arrivais même pas à dormir jusqu’à ce que je finisse la dernière mission et maintenant je me demande pourquoi je fini assez vite je suis entrain de galérer car je jamais joué un jeux comme celui la Total overdose j’aimerais savoir si y a la suite car je ne vois pas un autre jeux qui peut la remplacer… pour le moment alors si quelqu’un a eu la suite qu’il me faire savoir s’il vous plaît..’????????????????????????????ce jeux la à vraiment de la puissance
