Ben-DutkaIt's one of our most anticipated games of the year and now that we have an official launch date and new media, we're even more excited.
Today, Namco Bandai Games America Inc. has announced that Enslaved: Odyssey to the West will release for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 5, 2010 in North America. New screenshots and that impressive video we've seen before are now available at the game's official site . The game follows the adventures of two very different characters in a post-apocalyptic America; there's Monkey, the strong and athletic fighter and climber, and Trip, a tech-savvy woman who needs to couple her smarts with Monkey's physical capability in order to survive. Both were prisoners but when Trip escapes, she realizes she needs help…and binds Monkey to her. Two lives, one quest. Described as a "tactical action/adventure game," Enslaved presents a "complex relationship between the two main characters" and what should be a great mix of combat, strategy and platforming. Lastly, let's not forget that Ninja Theory has utilized "influences and contributions from top music and film industry talent."
Yes, October is once again shaping up to be hectic but if these developers have done their job, Odyssey to the West should be amongst the class of the month, if not the year.
