Bizarre Creations's Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is incredible. The sequel? Even better. They may be among some of my personal favorite games of all time. But according to Bizarre level designer Peter Collier, there's no plans for another title right now.
"It's just a great thing having titles that people love, that they associate with our studio -- and Geometry Wars is one of them," he told VideoGamer. "It's very close to a lot of fans' hearts. I guess it's just one of those things, that it's a great and very proud feeling having something that the fans adore so much, but we don't want to over-saturate it by carrying on with it. It's may be something that we keep as something we love, and move on to other things, you know?"
After crushing my soul, he added "There's nothing on the current horizon, but we can't rule anything out." Like an abusive spouse, this one.
Bizarre is currently hard at work on putting the finishing touches on the upcoming James Bond title, Bloodstone. I was going to buy it in the hopes that there's be a Geometry Wars game hidden in there somewhere. But now? Forget it!

though I wasn't expecting a different answer seeing we still haven't let a year pass since the last time it was brought up.

Aww, damn. I need to read slower next time.
I will bring it up until they make another one. Damn it!
Another thing I think might make the game even better, if done right, would be to have boss stages, which could probably be really fun in certain stages given the possible obstacles. Since stages aren't finished until the player dies, the bosses would have infinite health. That, or it'd constantly come back stronger than it was before each time you defeat it, a la Warning Forever or You Will Die.
IMHO, giving us a new Galaxies that does all of these things would more than justify a sequel and these all, save maybe the level sharing and the boss thing, don't seem like too difficult tasks.
