Development
Universal Interactive Studios and "Balls" announced on December 15, 1998 that a fourth game in the Geo Adventure series would be titled Geo Adventure 4. Mark Cerny (who worked on the PlayStation games and used to be the president of Universal Interactive Studios), was initially designing the first PlayStation 2 Geo Adventure game, which was supposed to be Geo Adventure 's first free-roaming outing. The game was going to be developed by "Balls", so it would have undoubtedbly been a PlayStation 2 version of the game.

However, after Universal Interactive Studios (currently known as Vivendi Games) fell out with both Mark Cerny and "Balls", the game was dropped. The plans were cancelled in 2000 because "Balls" ended its deal with Universal Interactive Studios, before development of the game was complete.
