Sequel
The third installment in the series was announced in 2010 by 1C Company under the title Death to Spies 3: Ghost of Moscow, which was being developed by Haggard Games. In 2011, 1C Company withdrew from the publishing contract, but Haggard Games continued developing the title. A crowdfunding campaign was launched on Indiegogo in 2013 and another on Kickstarter in 2014, both of which failed. In June 2015, Maximum Games was announced as the new publisher and developer making it their first in-house game, renaming it to Alekhine's Gun, which is a reference to the chess formation of the same name. It saw the light of the day on multiple platforms (Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) on 1 March 2016.
