Bethesda announced today that the former Vivendi title, WET, in development at A2M, will now be published by Bethesda. WET was one of the titles dropped in the Activision Blizzard merger, so the game was presented to Bethesda, in which the company liked the game and decided to publish it.
Along with this announcement, new details and screenshots have been released.
WET is a third-person shooter that mixes the likes of gunning, sword slashing and acrobatics all together in one. You’ll be able to shoot anywhere at anytime, meaning while running, sliding down ladders, sliding across the floor, etc.
You play as Rubi Malone, who agrees to find a rich man’s wayward son. What she thought would be an easy job becomes a lot more complicated. The man who hired her isn’t who he appears to be and now Rubi is on the run.
WET is due to release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2009.
You can check out the new screenshots at the gallery.
