The newly announced Wanted: Dead is a very bloody action game from veteran director Hiroaki Matsui (Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden II, Dead or Alive 3, 4). It's in development at Tokyo-based studio Soleil, and it's targeting a 2022 release on PlayStation 5.

You can see some early build gameplay in the trailer above. It's packed with dismemberment and point-blank headshots. Imagine John Wick with a katana, and you're on the right track.

There's certainly promise here, but it'll obviously all come down to how well it plays. What do you think of Wanted: Dead? Please mind the body parts in the comments section below.
