We have had our eye on Wanted: Dead, from the makers of Ninja: Gaiden and Dead or Alive, for a while now, and so today's offering was a real treat. We got an extended look at gameplay in a new video, a full half-hour of guns, gore and goons getting clobbered. Come for the cringy dialogue, but stay for the over-the-top violence.
Featuring combos that incorporate both katana and pistol, combat is fast and freeform in Wanted: Dead, and looks like a ton of fun. We can't imagine its story will set the world on fire, which follows the exploits of Zombie Unit, an elite Hong Kong police squad in a cyberpunk near-future. But honestly, with moves like this, it really doesn't need to.
What do you think of Wanted: Dead? Will you pick up a copy for that special someone in your life when the game launches on Valentine's Day, 2023? Display your prowess in the comments section below.

Yes, violence is something to enjoy.
@Max_the_German In a VIDEO GAME context, then yes.
Looks incredible. I wanted games to fill a void in the hack and slash genre for quite some time now. Can't believe the amount of shifted focus to souls like games which in my opinion, overshadowed the once beloved hack and slash genre
Has some Oni vibes. really enjoyed that game back in the day.
@SamMR I too have been craving some solid hack 'n slash action, so I recently booted up God of War III for the first time through my PS Plus sub, and man, this game does NOT disappoint. It's fascinating to see the maximalism that's baked into this series' DNA, and how Barlog and crew managed to evolve it into in 2018's reboot.
Ok ok looking good what I imagine CyberPunk 3rd person to be with fighting!
Looks slick. Doesn't look quite as appealing as Stellar Blade, but could be worth a go.
Definitely on my radar. Will probably be a day one buy.
Not a day one buy sadly due to Hogwarts Legacy and some other games, but will def still pick it up eventually in a few years.
