Namco Bandai clarified the "October" release date for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West in a press release today. Trip and Monkey's technologically tethered pilgrimage will begin October 5 in North America. In the interim, you'll have to settle for looking at these new screenshots.

That's not a partcularly bad bargain, though -- how often do you get to see a picture of a futuristic monkey-man based on Chinese myth, surfing through a ruined cityscape? Like two-three times a week, max?
