Crime-busting duo take to the streets of Grant City.
Set in the neo-noir, morally corrupt and nightmarish world of Grant City, Dead to Rights: Retribution will follow the tragic narrative of vice-cop Jack Slate. Along with vicious sidekick Shadow, Jack must fight to expose the shadowy underworld figures exerting their evil grip over the crumbling metropolis.Developer, Volatile Games has been working on an new hybrid combat system for its third person shooter that will see Jack use his sidearm to pick off the enemy at a distance, take cover and blind fire, use human shields, steal enemies’ weapons with special disarms or unleash his deadly takedowns. Jack will encounter a variety of ruthless gangs, each with their own fighting style, and all looking to destroy him and Grant City.
Jack’s special bond with his canine companion, Shadow, will crossover into combat situations. Players will take control of both Jack and Shadow at various points throughout the game to cover potential threats from the enemy.
Grant City will be as much a character of Dead to Right: Retribution as protagonists Jack and Shadow. It’s a living breathing city, steeped in history and symbolism and provides the setting for the neo-noir, heavy-going and bleak atmosphere.
No news on a release date as yet, but we must be getting close. A handful of new screenshots have been released today...
