Namco Bandai has unveiled the new project of Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory: an action adventure title called Enslaved for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Enslaved is set in a post-apocalyptic America and puts players in the shoes of the brutish Monkey and his Nariko lookalike partner Trip. When both are captured by a mysterious slave ship, Trip realizes she needs a protector if she’s to escape, so she hacks into Monkey’s slave headband and basically forces him into service. If Trip dies, Monkey dies too.
Bit of a dick move, if you ask me, but hey, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Monkey, who looks like he’s been patterned after a misanthropic Monkey King, wields a staff weapon and is armed with a combination of melee attacks, blocks and counters. He will also be able to perform takedown moves to keep Trip — and himself — out of harm’s way.
Enslaved is planned for release in 2010.
