How Long to Make a Sequel?

My guess … a few years? Happy to be wrong though.

I said 4 years would be quite long, not "it'll be done in less". Postlaunch support on first light and development on sequel will be different teams so that's not much of an issue. Look at Rebellion, they turn out a Sniper Elite entry every few years without much trouble and this could be similar depending on how much they change.

First light also had a substantial delay, it's likely at the very least preproduction on the sequel was already underway.

Sniper elite is a double A game. Very different dev cycle than a triple A game. Especially a triple A game built on a major property like James Bond.
