Enslaved release date confirmed

Journeys to the West in October.

Namco Bandai has confirmed Enslaved's release date as Friday, 8th October.

Ninja Theory's PS3 and Xbox 360 action adventure was given an "October" date shortly before E3, but Gamerzines went and narrowed that down further.

Enslaved takes place 150 years in the future after an apocalyptic event has ruined Earth. Well, everything's smashed up but there's lots of trees and greenery about. Oh, and killer robots.

They're programmed to hunt the game's two protagonists Monkey and Trip who form an uneasy alliance to get to the bottom of what's going on.

Eurogamer took a closer look at Enslaved at the end of March.

Meet Monkey and Trip.
