Bethesda Softworks to Publish WET
for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3
Innovative Shooter Allows Gamers
to “Shoot Anytime, Anywhere”
Bethesda Softworks announced today
that it will publish WET, an innovative action game from Artificial Mind and
Movement (A2M). WET, in development for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, is
slated for a Fall 2009 release.
WET is a highly stylized
third-person shooter that seamlessly blends acrobatics, gun play, and sword
kills. With dual pistols and a samurai sword, you can engage in combat while
sliding on floors, running on walls, jumping, flipping, and performing amazing
acrobatic moves – leaving a massive body count in your wake.
“We’re very excited about the
opportunity to bring WET to all gamers,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of
Bethesda Softworks. “Our proven success as a publisher which focuses on select,
innovative titles matches up perfectly with WET’s new class of gameplay.”
“We were looking for a publisher who
shares and supports our creative vision of bringing a stylized, daring approach
to the shooting genre”, said Patrick Fortier, Creative Director at A2M. “With
its impressive track record, Bethesda Softworks is the ideal publisher for WET
and we are thrilled to be working together.”
WET puts you in the role of Rubi
Malone, a gun-for-hire, who has expertise in wetworks – covert operations that
get a little messy. As Rubi, you embark on a story full of double crosses and
paybacks as you visit locations around the world. Featuring a mix of humor and
violence, a unique retro film visual treatment, and an original 70’s-inspired
music, WET is a third- person shooter experience unlike any other.
Voicing Rubi Malone is actress Eliza
Dushku, star of Fox’s Sci-Fi thriller series “Dollhouse.” Dushku starred in the
box office hit “Bring It On” and the television series “Tru Calling.” She is
also well-known for her recurring roles on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and
“Angel.”
