Namco Bandai has confirmed that a demo for Ninja Theory's Enslaved will be hitting PlayStation Network next week in North America. If you're in Europe, though, you can download it right now; feel special, yeah?
The publisher says the demo will hit PSN on September 21, but we have a feeling it'll actually be on Monday, September 20. Why? Because that's when we hear the PS Store will update next week, due to a scheduled maintenance on Tuesday.
Those waiting for an Xbox 360 demo, just hang tight. Namco Bandai says one will be "coming soon." In the meantime, gaze upon the new images I've dumped in the gallery.

Always have to reassure the 360 fans.
If it were coming out for 360 and not PS3, nothing would be said.
Hilarious.
I don't say this often to those who comment, but you're an idiot.
@twe1ve5ifty1:
First 7 chapters of this game were great! We're really passionate about games here, and when we (as individual writers or the staff) find something we like, we'll not only spread the information but our enthusiasm as well. We're a blog, so expect to find that kind of "personality" in our pieces. I also didn't mention anything good (or bad) about Enslaved in this story; it's pretty straight forward!

Right, which is why I wrote in my article "If you're in Europe, though, you can download it right now; feel special, yeah?"
Anyone here in Euro get a chance to play the demo? I don't know what it consists of, but there are quite a few layers to the game. Even in the first half of it it's pretty broad and varied in gameplay; I can't imagine they'd touch on everything the game has to offer in the demo. But who knows?
PS - If you live in the U.S. and don't have Japan and U.K. PSN accounts, go Google a tutorial and set some up, they're great to have around when demos hit other territories first, and totally free. You set up new profiles for each on your PS3 and 360, and then once you've downloaded whatever from the proper PSN Store, the demo can be launched from any of your profiles.

Dtoid got me interested in Enslaved and after trying out the demo it's my most anticipated game this year. My childhood obsession of the dubbed Monkey TV show may also have helped. Just hope the rest of the game delivers on what has been seen/said so far.
Just sucks U.P.S Delivers all extra late for me : (...
but complaints aside.. im just happy that there are more non shooters coming out these days.. and the environments are beautiful..
It's easy, do it. Get all the demos.
Hopefully won't have to wait too long for the 360 demo!
