Ninja Theory To Detail Canceled, Unannounced Projects At GDC Europe
Ninja Theory, the developer behind games like Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and the recent Devil May Cry, is planning on showing some of its titles that never came to light at GDC Europe.
Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades' keynote, The AAA Indie Proposition, will showcase footage from an announced new-gen game that has been shelved, as well as a unrealized sequel to the Xbox multiplayer game Kung Fu Chaos. Kung Fu Chaos was released when the studio went by the name Just Add Monsters.
Cancelled projects are not the focus of Antoniades' keynote, but will rather be an element of it. The focus will be on the studios ambitions to lie somewhere between a small independent developer and a massive AAA studio. It wants to be a AAA indie studio, hence the name of the keynote.
GDC Europe takes place in Cologne, Germany, beginning August 8.

Our Take
I am a big fan of Ninja Theory. When our editorial pool put together a collective feature on our favorite developers, I wrote a piece on the studio, which you can read here. I am very curious to see what the studio had to put aside for new-gen.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
