Regarding the Doctor Who example, I feel like Seasons 7-11 of a show that ran for 26 seasons aren't really "later installments".

Would Assassin's Creed Odyssey count? Origins is where the gameplay underwent a massive shift from the classic style to the soft RPG gameplay, but at least the plot was at least somewhat linear. Not only did Odyssey have the massive branching narrative, but most of the traditional aspects of the franchise, including the Assassins, Templars (they appeared in Origins in their previous form, the Hidden Ones and Order of Ancients) and the signature weapon, the Hidden Blade, are largely ommitted.

Does anyone else think Pew Die Pie fits under this? Like, he was originally known for doing video game playthroughs, especially of Happy Wheels and custom maps on Amnesia: the Dark Descent. Nowadays, in moving away from his playthroughs, Felix's videos seem to not really have any direction. The most focused of his current series being one where he "reviews" internet memes, and another where he looks at fan-submitted content from his subreddit.

Can an entry be a later installment if there are a few more entries added after?

I have a quote, which I personally think would be perfect for this article. I would like some opinions on what others think before I officially decide to add it;

"I feel like I just awoke from a frozen sleep. Last I knew, Sonic games were in 2D, Nintendo and Sega were rivals, guns were for Contra, Sonic's nemesis was called Dr. Robotnik, now he's going by Dr. Eggman, diddy-daddy, villain formerly known as, whatever. What the Hell happened here?"
James Rolfe on Shadow the Hedgehog, Angry Video Game Nerd, episode: "Wish List Part 1".

If anyone also wants to add information about how the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has become very different over the years as its own example, they're also welcome to. I tried to do so myself, but couldn't come up with much.

"Rivals" and "formerly known as" should not be potholed.

Duly noted, and I will follow that advice if this quote is officially added.
