Bethesda picks up Hunted : The Demon’s Forge
I smell a more friendly version of Demon Souls…
Sounding an awful lot like a more westernised version of Demon Souls, this new co-op rpg has been picked up by new pubs on the block Bethesda. Still looking for that killer app outside their own product, Bethesda seem to be going all out to find a winner. This certainly has promise, and looks set to take over the mantle from the rock hard PS3 exclusive Demon Souls – coming from one of the guys behind Baldur’s Gate, Bard’s Tale & Fallout this certainly has pedigree even for a new studio.
The game is well in to development but no release schedule was announced. This joins the other very promising titles heading our way this year from Bethesda, namely Splash Damage’s Brink, Obsidian’s Fallout: New Vegas and id’s RAGE. Enjoy the screens below of inXile’s title and look for more information as we get it.
