110 Industries and Soleil have announced that their Devil May Cry/Bayonetta-inspired game, Wanted: Dead, will release on February 14th, 2023. In order to celebrate this announcement, the teams have also released a new trailer that you can find below.
Wanted: Dead is inspired by the mechanically rich combat systems found in titles like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The game aims to blend melee sword combat with exciting gunplay. Additionally, it will have a unique limb severing system.
Players take on the role of Lt. Hannah Stone, stepping into a dark and dangerous vision of cyberpunk Hong Kong as leader of the Zombie Squad. Zombie Squad is an elite team who work outside the purview of the traditional police force. Players can expect a number of combat skills that combine style and substance. Additionally, the game will offer cool slow-motion sequences and the ability to issue orders to teammates. Furthermore, there will be a limb severing mechanic that will change enemy attack patterns.
Enjoy!

I am still undecided on this game. I am going to wait and see what else is releasing in February and make a decision then.
The voice acting is so bad it overwrites all the gruesome animations. Hard pass.
Damn right!
It’s the only downside I’m seeing atm, though.
It can and will jeopardize the whole game, mark my words. Betas are just like alphas and final builds. We’re all used to it by now.

This game seems to have plenty of 3rd person shooting scenarios, contrary to pure hack and slash games like dmc and bayoneta(yeah those games have guns but they just act like blades with a longer distance).
Game looks very janky!
All the geh aside, this one looks slick. Nice we have an ETA at least.
Imagine never having heard the term ‘spectacle fighter’ and then trying to write an article about one AND being the owner of the website
lol

“The game aims to blend melee sword combat with exciting gunplay”
So does literally every other example you listed except for NG which honestly doesn’t even belong in that list.
Yes, Ninja Gaiden is far more difficult & has more self respect than the DMC series…it is ABOVE DMC & Bayonetta that’s for sure.
IF they can make this actually RESPECTABLE (including the English VA) then they better put it on Nintendo systems….if it’s going to maintain this level of low quality then their claims are empty wishes & lofty, UNREACHABLE HOPES that I’d rather not have tainting Nintendo consoles.
