Sega’s House of the Dead series made its Wii debut earlier this year, but is getting ready to do it proper as the company this morning announced a new title in the series. Titled The House of the Dead: OVERKILL, the game is in development at Headstrong Games and will retain the light-gun style of play along with some Grindhouse-esque presentation.
“We wanted to do something really different with The House of the Dead: OVERKILL,” commented Bradley Crooks, Studio Head at Headstrong Games. “With SEGA we’ve been able to create a fresh look for the franchise. I think you’ll agree it’s like nothing you’ve seen before on Wii.”
“Paying homage to the pulp horror comics and films that inspired generations of gore fans, The House of the Dead: OVERKILL will expose gamers to a brand-new fleshy rollercoaster ride of revolting dismemberment,” commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director at SEGA Europe. “This is the hardcore Wii title you’ve been waiting for.”
The game will be on display at the Games Convention in Leipzig later this week, and will release sometime in 2009. To see the uncut, debut trailer for the game see below.
