LA Noire Star Says He Never Heard A Word About A Sequel Despite the game selling millions of copies, no sequel was ever made. Rockstar s L.A. Noire, a detective game set in 1940s Los Angeles, celebrates its 10th anniversary today, May 17. To mark the occasion, The Hollywood Reporter spoke with the stars of the game for a retrospective, and one topic that came up was a sequel. Mad Men actor Aaron Staton, who played lead character Cole Phelps, said he never heard a peep about Rockstar making a sequel to the game, which was developed by the now-defunct Team Bondi out of Australia. Staton said he wonders where a sequel might go, considering the fate of his character.
