It’s Valentine’s Day and what better way to spread the love than with a new trailer for a high-octane, limb-severing action game. Yep, that’s what we’ve got as the latest video drop for Wanted: Dead helps bring joy to all. And blood. Lots of blood.
From 110 Industries and due to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC, Wanted: Dead will deliver stylish, super-fast, high-intensity combat when it releases later in 2022, mixing that with some of the most spectacular of John Wick-esque finishers and swordplay. Today though it’s all about the latest trailer – one that fits nicely with the Valentine’s theme.
Developed by Japanese studio Soleil, Wanted: Dead will be found blending melee sword combat, exciting gunplay and a unique limb severing system to deliver a deep action title inspired by those which have delivered mechanically rich combat systems previously; games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
In it players will take on the role of Lt. Hannah Stone, stepping into a dark and dangerous vision of cyberpunk Hong Kong as leader of the “Zombie Squad”, an elite team who work outside the purview of the traditional police force. It’s here where you find yourself falling in love with Stone’s elite combat skills that combine style and substance, delivering cool slow-motion sequences, the ability to issue orders to teammates and a limb severing mechanic that changes enemy attack patterns.
Your date with Wanted: Dead this Valentine’s Day will take a stop at the Atomic Heart diner. Offering a change of pace to the game’s adrenaline-pumping combat, the diner offers a place for Lt. Stone to chill as she consumes food and drinks for buffs that will help her on her deadly missions, while giving us players the chance to get to know the eccentric cast of characters that comprise her team.
“We’ve been thrilled with the response from the press and public since we revealed Wanted: Dead last year,” said Sergei Kolobashkin, founder and Creative Director at 110 Industries. “Everyone really seems to have embraced the outlandish style and tone we are aiming for! We hope you all enjoy our Valentine’s Day gift and I promise you there will be plenty more to come this year, so keep your eyes open!”.
