‘Wanted: Dead’ Launch Trailer Boasts Bloody Cyberpunk Action [Watch]

Published

Ahead of Soleil and and 110 Industries’ release of Wanted: Dead, IGN has scored the game’s launch trailer, which boasts just what you’d expect from the talent behind Ninja Gaiden: plenty of swordplay, gunplay, and bloody action. Of course, unlike the trailer that explained the game’s combat, the launch trailer for Wanted: Dead puts in the needed story elements.

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”.

Wanted: Dead will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series on February 14th. And if you’re wanting to put the extra money down, there’s still the Collector’s Edition of the game that can be had from Amazon for either PlayStation or Xbox.

Kickstarter Goal Achieved for Video Game Adaptation of ‘Lady Death’ Comic With ‘Lady Death Demonicron’

Published

Lady Death fans will be getting a video game to call their own. Franchise creator Coffin Comics has announced that Lady Death Demonicron, a canonical beat-em-up video game in the Lady Death universe, has been funded on Kickstarter and is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of developer Art of Play Games.

With Lady Death Demonicron, the Lady Death franchise marks its 30th anniversary, which began way back in 1994 (though the character first appeared back in 1991). The Kickstarter for Lady Death Demonicron launched just three days ago, and has already reached its goal of $150,000 USD, with the campaign on until May 24.

“We’re excited to handcraft the next chapter of Lady Death in video game form with the creator of Lady Death Brian Pulido and his incredible team,” says Ash Nicholls, Director at Art of Play. “It’s time for Lady Death to conquer the video game space with the leadership of Art of Play,” says creator Brian Pulido. “Demonicron is true to Lady Death’s savage spirit. I can’t wait for players around the world to get their hands on it.”

Lady Death Demonicron will centre on Lady Death (naturally), who just wishes to mourn her friend in peace. Unfortunately, a horde of demonic enemies has swarmed the cemetery gates. These malevolent forces hound Lady Death between realms, invoking a hunt through alternate realities that bring forth a sinister mystery. Poised to help is Ravenheart, a haunted swordsman prepared to accompany Lady Death through these ominous realms in search of answers to a convoluted mystery.

In Demonicron, players will move through hand-drawn environments, accessing the heroine’s lethal sword skills, destructive magic, and strong intuition. You’ll be able to upgrade your kit as you battle through the beat-em-up’s 15 levels, earning new swords and uncovering brutal finishers to slay a path to victory.
