Enslaved Multiplayer and DLC were cancelled

Posted February 16, 2012 by James Haresign in News.

Ninja Theory have revealed plans were underway to bring multiplayer to Enslaved, but sales put an end to them.

Every console generation seems to manage to have a few critical darlings that the buying public just seem to ignore. Like Psychonauts, but we’re not meant to be talking about that anymore. Recently Enslaved joined this unfortunate list. Its creators, Ninja Theory, have revealed some of their plans had people actually bought the game.

Talking to Edge (and noticed by CVG) creative director Tameem Antoniades revealed that more DLC was on the way, including a multiplayer game that centered around Monkey’s flying cloud-board-thing.

When asked what he felt the legacy of the game would be he seemed understandably hesitant. “I’m not sure. We wanted to create affecting characters that felt more like real people than cardboard cutouts. If the game had been more successful, perhaps other games would follow suit and deem it a worthwhile pursuit.

“But perhaps instead it will be held as an example of why it doesn’t matter. Either way, it won’t stop us from trying. I truly believe characters and story can elevate the gameplay and affect people in deep and satisfying ways.”

Ninja Theory are currently working on the reboot of Devil May Cry.
