NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today released a new developer diary video for Dead to Rights®: Retribution, a ground-up reinvention of the multi-million unit selling crime action series developed by Volatile Games. Dead to Rights: Retribution thrusts players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as hard-boiled vice cop Jack Slate and his trusted canine ally Shadow. The latest dev diary video features Project Director Imre Jele providing a narrated tour of the exciting gameplay options that are available for the game’s two main characters – Jack and Shadow.



Dead to Rights: Retribution introduces new gameplay elements that unify the third person shooting and brawling genres for a brutal and relentless new action-driven experience. Introducing an innovative new hybrid combat system that seamlessly blends gunplay with hand-to-hand combat and AI partner, the game puts the full combat potential of a highly trained, highly agitated law-enforcement officer into players’ hands.



Dead to Rights: Retribution is rated “M” for Mature by the ESRB and will be available on April 27, 2010 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
