There have been lingering hopes that Enslaved: Journey to the West would produce a sequel, despite its lackluster commercial reception. However Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades has confirmed that any plans for a sequel to Enslaved have been shelved.
“Enslaved should have done better,” said Antoniades. “Right now we should have been doing a sequel and perfecting that sequel and doing what franchises do, which is get better over time. [But] because that didn’t happen we’ve not expanded to two teams like we intended to. So we’ve remained a smaller shop. But now we get another chance with DMC.”

Facebook has announced a new set of applications at their F8 developer conference. This will better integrate music, movies, and other media into their social network.
Users can say they are reading an article, watching a movie, or listening to a song. Now, other users can see if it’s a song on Spotify or a certain TV episode on Hulu, and they could watch or listen along without leaving Facebook.
While Facebook has been accused of not listening to its customers, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “I think we actually do. At the same time, I think the world is moving quickly, and we want to be innovative.”
Gokul Rajaram, the product director for Facebook’s ads indicated that the company will be able to “evolve” its advertising program using the new apps. Advertisers will get more specific data for their ads and could turn activities into “sponsored stories” where appropriate.

6waves Lolapps has announced that they are establishing a $10 million fund for mobile and social game developers. Selected developers will receive support from 6waves Lolapps in distributing, localizing, and hosting their game online.
“The rationale behind the fund is that on the publishing side, we started noticing that given the increased quality level and the production of these kinds of games, it’s getting harder for these developers to build them on their own,” said 6waves Lolapps senior VP of publishing Jim Ying. “We’ve seen a trend that developers are interested in building mobile games, and consumers are looking to play more of these games globally. The reality is that this part of the business is growing significantly, and we believe that we have a lot of knowledge that we can leverage in the space.”
