Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Golden Axe: Beast Rider will be out here on October 17, Sega has just confirmed.
As you can tell from the title, leaping on the backs of big man-munching creatures is key to the update of Sega's classic hack-'em-up.
It's a prequel, too. "Players will discover events that took place before the original storyline as Tyris Flare, the famous half-Gladiator/half-Barbarian heroine, begins the epic quest to avenge her tribe," explains Sega.
