Namco Bandai has revealed that the company is ‘exploring new opportunities’ with Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
The adventurer released last October and was met with positive review scores from game critics, though ultimately failed to set the charts alight, falling short of Namco’s project sales target of one million units.
However, speaking to VG247, Namco Bandai’s UK marketing chief Lee Kirton revealed that the brand hasn’t gone the way of the Dodo.
"We are exploring new opportunities with Enslaved of course." Kirton said. "As a video game developer and publisher we have learned a lot, and this industry continues to on a regular basis, and yes there would have been some things that would have been done different."
"Ultimately what we did was put a lot of love behind something that we truly respected." Kirton explained. "We built a great amount of awareness around the title, we created a ‘word of mouth’ buzz, it got great reviews, got picked all across the national press, lifestyle media, got some great nominations for many awards and Namco Bandai is mentioned as a publishing hero."
