Bleeding Hearts
I’m not sure how you will be spending your Valentine’s Day, but if you’re feeling lonely, 110 Industries has you covered. The publisher has dropped a special “Valentine’s Day” trailer for its upcoming hack ‘n’ slash actionerWanted: Dead, which is currently in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
The short preview (courtesy of IGN) sees special “Zombie Squad” operative Lt. Hannah Stone stopping off at a popular restaurant — The Atomic Diner — deep in the heart ofWanted: Dead‘s neon-nightmare vision of Hong Kong. Stone isn’t there for a hot valentine’s date, unfortunately, and instead finds herself battling scores of ninjas and assassins — slicing and dicing all and sundry with her balletic gunplay and razor-sharp sword skills. It gets a little bloody.
Developed by Japanese studio Soliel ofVengeance is Mine,Ninjala, andSamurai Jack: Battle Through Timefame,Wanted: Deadlooks ready and waiting to scratch the bloodthirsty itch of fans ofBayonetta, Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance, and other titles that marry slick ‘n’ stylish movement with extreme violence. While most assuredly an underdog release leading into the coming years, it looks to be a splatteriffic good time, and well worth keeping an eye on for fans of over-the-top action and2000 A.D.-esque storytelling.
Wanted: Deadis currently in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
