[E3 2014] ‘Let it Die’ Wants to Give Death Meaning

Published

Suda 51 has brought us a slew of unusual games over the years, including Lollipop Chainsaw and No More Heroes, as well as the fantastic and hugely underrated Shadows of the Damned. His next game is Let it Die, a brutal, horror-themed free-to-play fighter that we still don’t know much about. It looks like a mixture of Manhunt and Mortal Kombat, as fighters seek each other out in a strange, dirty warehouse-like environment so they can take them out using crudely constructed weapons.

In a recent interview with Famitsu, translated by Gematsu, Suda 51 offered some details on Let it Die, which they’re describing as an “extreme action game” with asynchronous multiplayer and survival aspects.

One of their goals is to grant meaning to death. Part of their plan for accomplishing this is to let players create and use their own avatar to fight with in-game. They’re also going to gradually populate the world with slain player avatars, so when your character dies, they have a chance of showing up in a friend’s world.

Let it Die already sounds radically different from most other fighting games, but Suda 51 and friends aim to take that a step further by having every player spawn with nothing but a pair of whitie tighties and a gas mask. If you want gear, you’ll have to find it, and while there will be more than one way of going about procuring equipment for your fighter, one way is to defeat other fighters and take it off their corpses.

Let it Die will release exclusively on PS4 in 2015.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
