Vanquish due out in October

Mikami shooter gets firm month.

SEGA has said that PlatinumGames' upcoming cover shooter Vanquish will be released for PS3 and Xbox 360 in October.

Previously we'd heard that the game, directed by Shinji Mikami, was down for release this winter, but the SEGA blog now says October.

Vanquish is a bit like Gears of War in space, as you can read in our Vanquish E3 hands-on preview, where we got to play the 10-minute, two-part demo.
