The big October releases are quickly piling up. The latest title to join the party is Enslaved, the new game by Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory.
Enslaved stars a man called “Monkey” and a woman named Trip, who must work together to make their way back to Trip’s home village.
The story is based on the ancient Chinese novel “Journey to the West,” with the gameplay revolving around platforming and puzzle solving.
Look for it on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on October 5.
