NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S is very pleased to officially confirm the EMEA and Asia-Pacific release date of ENSLAVED™: Odyssey to the West™. The anticipated tactical action adventure by acclaimed development team Ninja Theory will launch for PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360® on October 8th 2010.

To mark the date announcement, a new set of screenshots has been published detailing even more of the lush game universe and unique combat of one of the most original action adventure games of 2010.

A cinematic gaming masterpiece inspired by the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West,” ENSLAVED features Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) as dramatic co-director and lead character Monkey, a story co-written from the pen of Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later), and music by acclaimed composer Nitin Sawhney.

ENSLAVED takes players on a gripping, surprise-filled journey as two dissimilar characters, Monkey and Trip, form an uneasy union in order to survive their way through a perilous, post-apocalyptic America. A tactical action-adventure game, ENSLAVED centers on the complex relationship between the two main characters and challenges players to employ a mix of combat, strategy and environmental exploration.
