"Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit" announced by SEGA

[Recorderdude]

SEGA has announced a game coming this year based on a brand-new IP: "Hell yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit."

http://www.shacknews...abbit-announced

The Sega/Arkedo collaboration formerly known as Project Hell Yeah has been given an official title. Redubbed Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit!, the game is set for release on PC, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade later this year.
The game stars Ash, a devil rabbit and prince of Hell. When his nemesis Fat Rabbit posts compromising photos of him on the Hellternet, he sets out on a quest to murder his way to Fat Rabbit.
The announcement was paired with a trailer to set the tone, but it shows no gameplay. Arkedo did, however, create a series of retro-style games for the XBL Indie Games Channel, so those might give us some idea of the the exploits of the hell rabbit.
Check out the announcement trailer below.

Holy shit. it's like a darker and more manic Disgaea. WANT.

The visual style seems very reminiscent of Rayman Origins. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Looks good! New, BOLD IPs are always a good thing. Way to go, Sega.

Yep, it's nice that they're not using an old overused franchise for a change and do something new.

Feels a bit like Brütal Legend but sidescolling (despite not having seen any actual gameplay. or have we?).

What on earth did I just watch.

 

[BoxmanWTF]

I wonder what kind of game this'll be? hack n slash? platformer? I can't wait

Noticeably absent from Nintendo's platforms. lol

"Rejected: due to mention of Hell"

A Sega title that doesn't involve Sonic? Definitely interested now =).

[MelodieOctavia]

Did anyone else catch that they trademarked "Hell Yeah"?

WTF, Sega?

 

[Gahars]

This seems a bit Jhonen Vasquez-y, which guarantees that this game will be...

Anyway, I can't say I'm all that interested in this right now. I give it a big fat meh out of whatever.
