This week\u2019s release, Curiosity, was the first of these \u2013 and has so far proven to be massively popular. 158,000 people in the first day alone worked at tapping away layers of the cube to discover what lies beneath \u2013 a privilege only one user will eventually have.<\/p>\n<p>22 Cans second experimental game, Cooperation, is slated to be arriving soon. According to Molyneux, an announcement of the game is imminent, and \u201cit will be kind of live from Friday.\u201d Judging by the name, it\u2019s likely to be another social game that has players working together to achieve a common goal.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"GamesIndustry\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2012-11-08-molyneux-says-hell-only-make-one-more-game\" target=\"_blank\">GamesIndustry<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Molyneux has doubts about Microsoft\u2019s SmartGlass\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/47193-molyneux-has-doubts-about-microsofts-smartglass.html\">Molyneux has doubts about Microsoft\u2019s SmartGlass<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Molyneux\u2019s Curiosity: What\u2019s Inside the Cube launches on iOS\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/46996-molyneuxs-curiosity-whats-inside-the-cube-launches-on-ios.html\">Molyneux\u2019s Curiosity: What\u2019s Inside the Cube launches on iOS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"9 games that failed to live up to the hype\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45606-9-games-that-failed-to-live-up-to-the-hype.html\">9 games that failed to live up to the hype<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Molyneux\u2019s next experiment to be \u201cthe biggest cooperative effort the world has ever known\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/43783-molyneuxs-next-experiment-to-be-the-biggest-cooperative-effort-the-world-has-ever-known.html\">Molyneux\u2019s next experiment to be \u201cthe biggest cooperative effort the world has ever known\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Writers should stand by their work, says Peter Molyneux\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40630-writers-should-stand-by-their-work-says-peter-molyneux.html\">Writers should stand by their work, says Peter Molyneux<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;ll be the defining game of my career&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":30099,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,2226,3],"tags":[3759,7662,6470,4890,7660,1654,21,1789,7661],"class_list":["post-47198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-mobile","category-pc","tag-22-cans","tag-black-and-white","tag-cooperation","tag-curiosity","tag-dungeon-keeper","tag-fable","tag-headline","tag-peter-molyneux","tag-populous"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47198"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47199,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47198\/revisions\/47199"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
