From wikipedia:

Namco Bandai hoped they would sell over a million copies of Enslaved. The publisher revealed in November 2010 that the game only sold 800,000 copies worldwide, but the figure was corrected to 460,000 in February 2011. By September 2011 sales of 730,000 had been achieved, but this was not considered substantial enough to warrant continuation of the franchise so a planned sequel was cancelled. Namco blamed the game's release in a crowded window as the key factor it is a commercial failure. In 2014, Tameem Antoniades stated, speaking of the game's poor sales "I'm not sure if the fantasy elements were a turn-off, the gameplay mix, or the lack of visibility. It was probably a mix of all three".

Also, the IP apparently isn´t even own by the devs but the publishers, and let´s be honest, historically IPs owned by publishers have a higger chance to die out and never come back than those owned by devs; publishers just don´t have the attachment and tend to look at potential franchise in numbers, Enslaved was a critical sucess, but a sales "failure" considering it didn´t even reach the aimed threshold.

So sad

Yeah, I think devs give up to quick, who cares if it´s not super sales? If you have one game that sells twice much as it cost, and another half, you´re still not wasting anything.

But off course most american dev companies are in the stock market and therefor they have to look as if they are constantly getting more money or the investors sell their stock and the company goes bankrupt or sale to a bigger company.

In the end we gamers are the ones losing when games like this are just left to die.

Would still be great!

Its weird to think this game was made by the same studio that did the infamous DmC. But I don't see them making a game like this again, especially after Xenua's Sacrifice.

who knows, maybe after the release of hellblade 2, they will be start doing the next part enslaved but the chances are not great, it will be seen.

In the meantime release the OST!

i love this game so much, it pains me that it does not get the attention it deserves. i hope one day a remake can happen, this is the era of remakes so we will see!!

But we still get all the Hitler games on Steam. Ugh.

I'm just happy the game runs really well.

I immediately wanted a sequel when I finished the game. Still wanting it. Just hoping it will be done with the same dedication and core as the original - which was made to happen by a really great team and vision.

Horizon zero dawn is pretty much the same

Horizon zero dawn is pretty much the same

I would say it's style is closer to Forbidden West - and yes the setting and enemies are very similar, but the gameplay (and story of cause) is very different.

I have played and completed both Horizen games, and though they are much longer, I think this is kinda better (graphics are of cause dated - but still playable).

This is a much more focused level based experience, with all the open world clutter/time waste cut out. This game is not wasting my time!

I understand that, You don't like Open world games - that's fine. However I took this snippet to explain why we don't have one currently.

"Tameem Antoniades was asked in April 2017 in a Game Informer interview about what he would like to do with potential sequels for DmC: Devil May Cry, Heavenly Sword, and Enslaved, with a mutual understanding between him and the interviewer that Ninja Theory no longer owns the IPs for those games and such a sequel would be decided by the publishers. In regards to Enslaved, he said the game was too similar to Guerrilla Games' 2017 video game Horizon Zero Dawn and that an Enslaved sequel would have to take a different direction"
