Code Violet, the poor PS5 dinosaur shooter released last month, was a bad game.
That doesn't mean it can't get a sequel, though, as Teamkill Media has today announced Code UltraViolet. The follow-up is possible because of the "overwhelming success" Code Violet has apparently experienced, and "the incredible support from all of you", the developer said in a social media post.
Code Violet has an overall critic score of 29 on Metacritic, a 2.6 user score on the same site, and a 2.88 player rating on the PS Store from confirmed buyers. Of almost 4,000 ratings, 36% of purchasers on PS5 left a one-star rating.
In our Code Violet PS5 review, we awarded the game a 4/10 rating, and called attention to its technical issues, poor gunplay, and samey locations. "Code Violet is a mess. Crummy combat, tedious exploration, technical problems. The sexy costumes and horny camerawork seem at odds with both Violet as a character and the tone of the writing."
Despite the bad quality of the first game, will you give Code UltraViolet a chance? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm busy that week.
@johncalmc Yeah... reviewing this John.
Looks like rock bottom has a basement...
Well there is a audience i wonder what kind 🤔
A 29 on metacritic yet they consider it a overwhelming success 😑, this game makes Gollum look good.
@Ihatemultiplayers the kind you wouldn't want to use an ultraviolet light on in their bedrooms..
It feels like the developers are just trolling us at this point.
Wow they really quoted Leonardo da Vinci at the beginning of the game, that alone speaks volumes.
All Code Violet did was get attention. It got attention right here from Push Square because they reviewed it, therefore a sequel happening shouldn't be surprising. Bad games can get sequels too if people pay attention.
Every Yakuza game is an awful game and gets hundreds of sequels, so...?
@JDINCINERATOR you actually think that a review here (or any other outlet) has any influence on sales? rofl good one
Assett flip gooner games you make the rocking world go round.
The 11 000 meters deep Mariana Trench called and wants its title of the lowest point on the planet back.
I look forward to seeing how they iterate on the strengths of the first one 🤨
@Frmknst Calling all the Yakuza games awful is a bold strategy, let’s see how that works out.
@Frmknst I believe it does now. Just cause of your comment, I might actually get the game lol
@Frmknst I didn't say Push Square is influencing sales, what I am saying is that media attention is influential. If people didn't read about Code Violet or care about it, a sequel wouldn't be happening.
They're threatening us with a sequel
@Frmknst Bait used to be believable.
It’s like a comedian that isn’t funny, but keeps on telling jokes for whatever reason 👀
They're not looking at the ratings of players and critics. They're just looking at the sales, which seems to have been enough. It has a lot of horn...dedicated fans, and they want to satisfy that fanbase.
Great news! Definitely need more janky gooner-shooters in my library. Hope it gets a physical release.
Huh...Definitely didn't have that game getting a sequel on my bingo card for the year.
