Interplay and Vivendi Universal Games today announced the development of Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward for the PS2. Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward, developed by High Voltage Software, continues the story of the successful action adventure franchise Hunter: The Reckoning. High-speed action combined with top-notch graphics translate the dark fantasy world of the White Wolf role-playing game and bring the essence of the game to life, fully submerging the player into the realm of The World of Darkness. Wayward comes to the PS2 this summer with an all new story, game-play features, weapons and terrifying monsters.

"We are thrilled to bring the Hunter: The Reckoning franchise to PlayStation(r)2 consumers with an all-new gaming experience. The team has enjoyed stepping up to the challenge and surpassing the previous Hunter experience to make this a unique experience for this platform," said Jim Molitor, Vice President of Production for Interplay.

Welcome back to the sleepy town of Ashcroft, where two years ago a supernatural evil was destroyed by four Hunters. In the last two years the town has put the past behind them...or so they thought. A cult has formed underground and now two years later events reminiscent of the past have begun to occur. After receiving a distress call from a mysterious new Hunter, the four original Hunters realize they must return to the town. Evil has again resurfaced and the Hunters are Ashcroft's only hope of deliverance.

In this 3rd person action-shooter set in the fantasy world of White Wolf role-playing, players act as human monster-hunters protecting and defending lives of the innocent. One to two players choose from 5 playable Hunters, each possessing a vast array of weapons, edges (spells) and supernatural abilities.

Players can expect the same none-stop action, outstanding graphics and authentic White Wolf storyline that makes the Hunter: The Reckoning franchise so successful and addictive. With a psychotic and highly dangerous new character joining the original Hunter team, new environments and weapons, players are armed to battle creatures of the dead in order to fulfill their mission to fight evil. Let the hunt begin.

Features:

  • Choose from five playable characters; each with unique weapons, edges and supernatural abilities
  • Introduces Hunter Headquarters, a unique game flow system allowing players to select different characters, weapons and review objectives between levels
  • A little help from your friends - supports two-player cooperative games
  • 25 expansive, story-telling levels with several repayable variations
  • Rip apart supernatural enemies piece-by-piece by dismembering heads, arms and legs in gory detail
  • Battle over 20 monster types using a huge arsenal of melee, ranged and spell weapons
