Based on the Universal Pictures movie, R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department) is a 3D supernatural action-adventure.

R.I.P.D.: The Game is a two-person co-op shooter where players will take up the holsters of two lawmen dispatched to the otherworld to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.

"Being able to create the game for the R.I.P.D. movie is a huge honor," said Matthew Karch, president, Old School Games. "Our past development experience in the action-shooter genre is a tailor-made fit to adapt this exciting film to the interactive space."


Key Features:

  • Film Authenticity - Working directly with Universal, Old School received ongoing access to the movie materials so that players could experience a faithful adaptation of the unique world of R.I.P.D., including environments, enemies, weaponry, effects and humor from the film.
  • Partner with your Friends Online - Two-player online co-op allows wanna-be gunslingers to use teamwork as they battle their way through the game. Your enemies won't have a chance against the right team strategy.
  • Over the Top Action - Gunslingers will blast, impale, explode, and arrest enemies just as the heroes do in the film.
  • Unique In-Game Betting System - Co-op partners can put their in-game currency where their mouth is with a new feature that allows them to bet on who's a better R.I.P.D. officer. Measured by which player can capture the most enemies, who can stay standing the longest, and other action-packed challenges, the virtual betting system allows players to always keep the stakes high.

"R.I.P.D.: The Game" will be available on PSN, Steam ($9.99) and Xbox Live Arcade (800 MSP).
