Bloody Cyberpunk Slasher ‘Wanted: Dead’ Releases February 14 for PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Previously planned for release later this year in that anomalous Q4 range, 110 Industries and developer Soleil have announced that their upcoming sci-fi action slasher Wanted: Dead will now be headed for release next February. Currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via Steam, Wanted: Dead will now release on February 14, 2023.
No reason was given for the shift, but at least we get a new trailer out of the deal, courtesy of IGN. Featuring a mix of anime and CG, the game’s mix of cyberpunk and bloody action is matched up perfectly with the 80s overtones of the soundtrack.
From members of the team that worked on Ninja Gaiden, Wanted: Dead is a hybrid slasher/shooter that follows a week in life of the Zombie Unit, an elite Hong Kong police squad on a mission to uncover a major corporate conspiracy. You play as Lt. Hannah Stone, a hardboiled Hong Kong cop who must slash her way through mercenaries, gang members and private military contractors in order to uncover a major corporate conspiracy.
In addition to using your sword to slice up foes with over 80 unique finishing moves, you’ve also got your standard array of guns, including assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs and grenade launchers. This is all set against a cyberpunk backdrop that features advanced weaponry and “lo-tech 90s retro futurism”.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
