New Golden Axe game gets date

SEGA plans to unleash PS3 and 360 action role-playing game Golden Axe: Beast Rider on 17th October.

Despite having initially been scheduled for September, we still know relatively little about this 2008 interpretation of a series that began in the arcades, back in 1989.

So far what we know comes from trailers; the lady warrior with barely any clothes appears to be the main character, and uses various types of beasts as mounts to get around and crush people with.

Golden Axe: Beast Rider will also carry an 18 rating for its assortment of blood and gore and dismemberments.
