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.

Dunno why, but this reminds me of an old PS2 series called Mark of Kri. Tau and his sister.

I'm pretty sure this is in beta form. I thought the same thing for a second, but realized that.

Yeah, but look at how lazy they got. This "Trip" woman looks just like Nariko. Not really looking forward to this, but we'll see what happens.

This (comparing to heavenly) seems awkward...Maybe it's the 360 limitations...but it just seems last gen...well a heavenly 2 would be swell, ain't I read something about it in here somewhere?
