With Soleil and and 110 Industries’ cyberpunk action game Wanted: Dead creeping closer to release next month, the companies have released a new trailer for the third-person action game that delves into its combat, courtesy of IGN. And given that the game is from the minds behind Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, you can expect Wanted: Dead‘s combat to be tough as nails.
Combining close-quarters combat with shooting, Wanted: Dead will have you juggling between the two as you make your way through the variety of enemy types. Your main character, Lt. Hannah Stone, comes equipped with a gun from the start, as well as access to several secondary weapons that can be dropped by foes. But even then, that won’t get you very far.
You’ll have to combine run-and-gun tactics with up close and personal tactics involving your sword, slide and charge attacks, as well as takedown moves. Taking cover and sniping won’t help, as enemies will quickly overwhelm you. You have to take the fight to them.
Part of mastering Wanted: Dead‘s combat involves making use of the Skill Tree. Your unlockable skills are divided into three categories: offence, defence, and support. You’ll be able to customize your play style even further with these skills, as there’s no right or wrong way to go about building out the Skill Tree.
Wanted: Dead will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series on February 14th. Additionally, fans can also pre-order the physical Wanted: Dead Collector’s Edition for either PlayStation or Xbox from Amazon.
