A sequel titled ''Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger'' was again released on the 3DS eShop on April 11, 2013. The game was similar to the previous entry with minor tweaks and improvements. The game also saw the addition of partners, which can be commanded to farm minerals before Grock raids and help battle Grocks during raids. The game did receive slightly better reviews because of this, but still had a mixed reception due to the sameness and lack of major improvements. | A sequel titled ''Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger'' was again released on the 3DS eShop on April 11, 2013.

Another sequel titled ''Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers'' released in 2018 for 3DS, this time having a proper physical release, except in North America which once again went digital only. The tone has since been shifted to a darker, post-apocalyptic setting akin to ''{{s|wikipedia|Mad Max}}'' as a way to shake up the series. Additionally, the partners from the previous game were replaced with [[Mii]] characters, who are depicted as anthropomorphic animals to fit the setting. The game was initially going to be a racing game, but that version was later scrapped, though some elements were added to the final release as a bonus mini game. The game has been regarded as the best in the series with a refreshing tone and major improvements to the formula, but still is not considered great due to repetitive and confusing design choices that were held over from previous entries. As of the shutdown of the 3DS eShop on March 27th, 2023, the entire series can no longer be legally purchased or downloaded save for physical copies of ''Dead Heat Breakers'', though the 3DS is region locked and would require modding to play the game on a system from a different region. | Another sequel titled ''Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers'' released in 2018 for 3DS, this time having a proper physical release, except in North America which once again went digital only.
