Today Bethesda Softworks announced that WET is ready for a September 15th release date in North America and a September 18th release date in Europe. WET comes from game developers Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M) and will be available for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3. You’ll play as dual pistol wielding Rubi Malone, in a plot and style that sounds very reminiscent of the Kill Bill movies. This looks like the closest hands-on experience you’ll get to a Kill Bill flick.
“We are extremely excited to bring WET to gamers on September 15th,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “A2M has created an explosive gaming experience and the action is non-stop from start to finish.”
“We’ve worked really hard to make WET different from any other action game available”, said Patrick Fortier, Creative Director at A2M. “When players experience the game’s unique blend of gunplay, sword combat and acrobatics, they won’t want to put the controller down.”
About WET, from Bethesda Softworks:
“On a mission to find the man that left you for dead, you’ll master the controls that will allow you to create the most incredible fight sequences – limited only by your own imagination. Once you are able to chain together a number of moves, including sliding down ladders, running on walls, jumping and flipping, you will be rewarded with auto-lock and slow motion advantages. Featuring the perfect mix of humor and violence, WET is a third-person shooter experience unlike any other.”
See more on WET here at the official website, as well as how you can win a custom WET Xbox 360.
