This was a long running rumor that Republic Commandos (one of the best Star Wars games I have ever played) would gain a sequel as Imperial Commandos, and with E3 strolling through, I was wondering if anyone else is (or was) holding their breath for a possible reveal.

I don't think they will ever give Republic Commando a sequel :/ Unfortunately, Disney is very strict about Star Wars canon, and a game such as this one would re-introduce RC in the canon, as well as the possible sequel itself...
Maybe we'll have a spiritual successor, but a direct sequel seems impossible :/ Furthermore, EA already had its E3 Conference, so no reveal this year

There are rumors that the unknown EA Star Wars IP is Imperial Commando, but its all conjecture right now. The former project lead on Republic Commando did say that Sev did indeed survive and he becomes part of the rebellion, rescuing the remnants of Delta Squad and joining the Rebel Alliance against the Empire, so for me I have the ending I wanted. However it is very unlikely that we get a new game in the series.

Hasn't the Clone Wars TV show made Republic Commando canon?
Anyway, even if there was another Republic Commando in the form of Imperial Commando, I'm sure EA would find some way to mess it up.

The squads known as Republic commandos are still cannon since some commandos were shown in the Clone Wars cartoon, but the original stories (Expanded universe books and the Republic Commandos game) are not. Theres still room to make another Republic Commando game, but would probably be something like Mirrors Edge Catalyst where they scrap the previous story and make a completely new one.
On a side note, you guys should read up on the original Commando books theyre pretty cool.
Edit:
Did you know:
If any of you guys have watched star wars rebels and all of Clone Wars, did you realize that the commando Gregor from episode 12 of the 5th season of Clone Wars is the same Gregor in Star Wars Rebels in season 2 episodes 2-3? Mightve been super obvious, but didnt realize until i went back watched Clone Wars

I remember playing Republic Commandos for the original Xbox , and i had a lot fun playing it. It would be nice to see some type of sequel, but like the others said I think its unlikely.

It would be awesome for Republic Commando to get a sequel or remaster, although I don't it would happen :C If it did I would think that EA would mess it up.
