Namco Bandai Games , Ninja Theory team for Enslaved
Namco Bandai Games America revealed a new game it is working on with Ninja Theory called Enslaved today for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Ninja Theory’s Enslaved takes players on a journey with two dissimilar characters that form an uneasy union in order to survive in a 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 adventure to survive.
Set 150 years in the future, so as not to make present day players think about the real horros of an all-out nuclear war (just saying), the world has transformed into an unrecognizable state where all that remains are a dwindling human population and merciless robots left over from wars long past. In Enslaved, players take on the role of Monkey, a strong and brutish loner, and his AI partner Trip, a technologically savvy but sheltered young woman from a peaceful community. Both are captured by a mysterious slave ship, which is rumored to harvest people and take them out west never to return. As they each attempt to escape, Trip realizes quickly that Monkey, with his raw strength and power, is the only hope she has of making the perilous journey back home. She hacks into a slave headband to enslave Monkey and link them together – if she dies, he dies. Her journey has now become his.
Players must make sure both Monkey and Trip work together as they navigate the wasteland, but it is full of danger and peril. Monkey uses his trusty staff weapon to attack and defend against enemies and uses takedown moves, allowing him to rip an enemy apart piece by piece, take its weapon for his own use or destroy it in one final blow.
Interesting concept but we’ll have to see and hear more before we get all giddy like school girls. More info when we have it.
