We already know plenty about Wanted: Dead, especially in regards how it promises to cut straight to the heart when it releases on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Now though, with the latest trailer, we get to discover just how brutal the challenge will be. Oh, and there’s a bit of a release window confirmed too.
The new story trailer for Wanted: Dead highlights the blend of intriguing sci-fi story and thrilling limb-severing action that will be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4 and PC in Q4 2022.
It comes from 110 Industries and Soleil, to deliver a high-octane sci-fi action game. Wanted: Dead, will be bringing stylish John Wick-esque violence and a twisted look at a dark retro-cyberpunk future to Playstation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC and in the extended version of the new story trailer that debuted at IGN’s Summer of Gaming, players can gain new insight into a world of shady corporate intrigue, while seeing more of the brutal violence that will confront them when they take on the challenging combat that Wanted: Dead will deliver.
Wanted: Dead is a high-octane third-person action game that seamlessly mixes swordplay with gun combat. Developed by the same talent that created Ninja Gaiden, players should expect that series’ hardcore DNA to shine through, with intelligent enemies pushing you to master the game’s systems. Wanted: Dead forces players to learn how to use combos, parries and the other tools it gives you to full effect to overcome the inevitable ass-kickings the game will be dishing out. The reward will be aesthetically pleasing bouts of blood and violence and the sense of satisfaction that comes with becoming a flawless fighting machine.
It has you playing as one of the losing combatants in a global war, as Lt. Hannah Stone is given one final chance to escape her imprisonment as she takes charge of an elite team who work outside the purview of the traditional police force known as “Zombie Squad”. Taking on the role of Hannah, players will step into a retro-cyberpunk vision of Hong Kong where synthetic workers and advanced weaponry exists alongside VHS tapes and cars that look like they are straight out of the 90s.
Wanted: Dead’s world is one dominated by a single company: Dauer Synthetics. Lt. Stone and her team soon find themselves embroiled in the shady dealings and underhand politics that swirl around the company that controls the world. Who is the mysterious mercenary outfit that attacks them? What do they want? And how will the world respond when Dauer Synthetics leaves a power vacuum no one could have anticipated.
“We think people are going to be pleasantly surprised by the variety of what we’re going to deliver in Wanted: Dead when it releases this year,” said Sergei Kolobashkin, founder and Creative Director at 110 Industries. “Of course, there’s all the blood and violence, but there’s also karaoke, dancing, ramen and maybe even a full 16-bit game that we got a little carried away with…”.
Get in on that trailer below and we’ll continue to bring you further Wanted: Dead updates as they drop. Steam will currently let you wishlist it too.
Glad to see this game being covered. Been looking forward to this for awhile. Thought it got cancelled until I started hearing about it two weeks ago. Nice article. Glad I found The Xbox Hub on Twitter.
