The third-person shooter known as WET, previously to be published by Vivendi but dropped after the Activision/Vivendi/Blizzard merger, now has a new publisher in the form of Bethesda Softworks (a ZeniMax company and creator of Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion).

WET, which is described as a ‘highly stylised third-person shooter,” allows player to use a variety of weapons (guns and a samurai sword) and moves (sliding on floors, running on wall, performing acrobatic moves) in order to complete your objectives in the game, moving seamlessly between acrobatics to gun and sword play.

As gun-for-hire protagonist, Rubi Malone (voiced by Eliza Dushku), you are tasked with performing covert operations that may get a little messy, also known as ‘wetworks.’ President of Bethesda Softworks, Vlatko Andonov told the press:

“We’re very excited about the opportunity to bring WET to all gamers. Our proven success as a publisher which focuses on select, innovative titles matches up perfectly with WET’s new class of gameplay.” Creative Director at developers A2M, Patrick Fortier added his sixpence by saying:

“We were looking for a publisher who shares and supports our creative vision of bringing a stylized, daring approach to the shooting genre. With its impressive track record, Bethesda Softworks is the ideal publisher for WET and we are thrilled to be working together.”

WET is set to release in the Fall this year on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.Check out the rest of the screenshots below:
