Elder Scrolls firm confirmed as new publisher for shooter; Eliza Dushku to voice lead character.
The fallout from the Activison-Vivendi merger left several titles without a publishing home, however many have since been picked up by other publishers, with Ghostbusters and Riddick landing at Atari and Brutal Legend finding a home at EA.
One title that was still lost a publisher however, was the third person shooter, WET. Many retailers had begun listing Bethesda Softworks as the games manufacturer, though none could agree on a release period for the game.
Today, Bethesda has confirmed that it is picking up the title, and have it set for an autumn release, on both Xbox 360
and PS3. Wet is a heavily stylised third-person action game that takes the visual approach of directors like Quentin Tarantino and retro films, something that has been rather in vogue lately, and puts the player in the role of Rubi Malone, a mercenary out for revenge.The game will not only feature a retro look, but plus retro sound, with all original 70’s and 70’s inspired music running all through the game. Rubi herself will be voiced by Eliza Dushku, of Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bring It On fame, who is no stranger to video game voice acting having worked on Yakuza and the recent Saints Row 2.
