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."
Wet is a game that infuses gun and sword play with a mixture of acrobatics. You play as Rubi Malone, a gun-for-hire who is voiced by Eliza Dushku (of Dollhouse and Buffy fame), and you enter into a drama filled world of revenge and betrayal. Utilizing humor, violence, 70s style music, and retro film sylization, WET promises to bring a unique experience to the gamer.
"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."
As someone who was really looking forward to this game last year, it is very good news to hear that Bethesda Softworks decided to give this title a shot. Considering their track record with the Elder Scrolls series and recently Fallout 3, I look forward to seeing the same kind of dedication and polish brought to WET. The fact that Elixa Dushku is voicing Rubi only sweetens the deal, and after her role as Shaunti in Saints Row 2, I look forward to hearing her in this new role.
Expect to see more of this title at E3, PAX and other events leading up to its future release.
