A folder named LSL4 could be found on the CD of Leisure Suit Larry Collection in which Al Lowe left a note in a readme file referencing the game and concluding "who says sequels have to be done sequentially?".

Custom Larry screens pop on to tell you about meetings, birthdays, work habits, and hard-drive hygiene! Let Larry organize your life.
This turned out in fact to be an elaborate April Fools' Day prank: the screenshots were fakes, the review was fictional, and the "game" archive actually contained 55 identical copies of scanned front casing of Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust. ====Leisure Suit Larry 8: Lust in Space (Leisure Suit Larry Explores Uranus)==== Leisure Suit Larry 8, tentatively subtitled Lust in Space (as well as Explores Uranus in some references), was in full development in 1998 until funding was cut.

It was developed by High Voltage Software and released by Sierra in 2004.
Lowe stated that even though he would like to complete the Reloaded series first, Leisure Suit Larry 8 is "absolutely" still in the works. ====Leisure Suit Larry: Pocket Party==== Leisure Suit Larry: Pocket Party was a canceled game meant to be released in the second half of 2005 for the N-Gage.

Box Office Bust was panned by critics, including Al Lowe himself, who thanked VU Games for keeping him away from developing the game. In June 2011, Replay Games announced on their blog that they had acquired a license for the Leisure Suit Larry series.
In April 2012, Replay Games initiated a Kickstarter project that finished funding on May 2, 2012 and secured a total of $674,598, for which the developers promised to add more story, additional dialogue, and one more character. The "HD" game, titled Reloaded was originally announced to be released in late 2012, but it was delayed to mid-2013.
In 2012, Lowe discussed what happened to the fourth installment in a video made for a Kickstarter project, in which he said that the idea for skipping Larry 4 came as a flippant comment in the office, and became a "real marketing coup" when selling Larry 5 because buyers would immediately ask what happened to the fourth.
In 2013, Al Lowe pointed out that this title is still being considered, with support from series co-writer Josh Mandel.
Softporn Adventure was removed from the pack on February 28, 2018, but still available for those who bought it previous to that date.
