Techland announce Hellraid

More On: Hellraid
We've all played first-person shooters, and we've all, at some point in our gaming lives, thought, "Enough with all this shooting!  I want to hit things with a sword and/or shoot magic at the supernatural and can't just spend two more years of my life lost in Skyrim.  I've only got one chance left with my boss and significant other and I need to save it for GTA V."

Well, Amalgamofeverygamerever, I have some good news for you: Techland, makers of Dead Island and Call of Juarez, have heard your call and present Hellraid.  Hellraid is a single-player first person hack-and-slash game with ranged weapons and magic that also features a four-player co-op mode that sounds an awfully lot like it's a wave-based "horde mode."

Hellraid will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC later this year.  To learn more, follow the jump.  You can also visit hellraid.com, and facebook.com/hellraidgame.

Techland Announces Hellraid, First-Person Co-Op Slasher for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

Techland officially unveils the game formerly known as Project Hell, blending story-driven hack & slash action, shooters and online multiplayer in one hell-raising package.
 
Techland has formally announced Hellraid, a first-person co-op slasher that offers two games in one: a single-player, story-driven campaign of hack & slash action; and unique, co-operative multiplayer that pits four players against the denizens of hell – and each other – in a battle for points, rewards and fame. The first official screenshots, game details and more are available on Hellraid.com, where you’ll also find the developers blog, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the production of Hellraid.

The armies of Hell brought pain and destruction to the realm of man, and only a select few have the fighting skills necessary to confront the devilish monstrosities. Combining elements of hack & slash RPGs, first-person shooters and online multiplayer games, Hellraid features an advanced, immersive combat system with melee, ranged and magical weapons. The engaging Game Master system makes each game a different experience, placing loot and enemies while generating random online challenges.

With exploration, looting, questing, weapon crafting, boss fights, armor customization, character development, leaderboards, magic and so much more, Hellraid is set to drag you straight to hell later this year on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
