Set in post-apocalyptic 2026 when a devastating global tectonic disturbance (Earth Rage) destroys and changes much of the world, Southwestern Tokyo split off into the ocean and became an island covered in fog. A giant spire-like structure pierced through the center of the island creating the twisted battleground known as The Tower of Barbs. Daring players will explore and ascend this mysterious tower, all the while fighting off ghastly enemies and horrific bosses, aided by the Grim Reaper, Uncle Death.
Players start with little more than their undergarments and must forage for powerful weapons and armor to do battle with the over-the-top ultraviolent future that waits.
Let It Die also features deep, multilayered asynchronous multiplayer in the form of "death data," where other players' dead bodies will reanimate into a "Hater", a brutal AI opponent, who will roam other player's games and use every tactic and weapon on hand to stop players in their tracks. If they manage to eliminate a Hater, players are able to loot the Hater for rare items to aid in their ascent up The Tower of Barbs. Players will eventually meet Tetsuo, an unsettling robotic NPC, who gives players the chance to join a team and perform raids on enemy bases to steal much needed resources.
Let It Die is throwing a spectacular celebration for its one year anniversary. A major collab with World of Tanks from Wargaming will take place on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017 through Thursday, Jan. 11, 2018.
The World of Tanks collab includes ten premium Skill Decals that may drastically affect various skills and items, which will be a treat to veterans and new players alike. The decals include:
- World of Tanks - Max HP increased by 45%
- Tiger II - Fire a WAR ENSEMBLE weapon for five seconds, which reloads with explosive rounds that deal 20% more damage
- STEEL WALL - 20% chance of not taking any damage when hit

Along with the decals, unique collab armor is available for purchase from the PlayStation Store, which is based off the widely popular T-34/76 tank found in World of Tanks.
Additionally, special decorations will be available for the waiting room along with limited theme quests and unique equipment for players that take on WARDOGS in the Tower of Barbs. As a treat for the 1-year anniversary, players that log in between Dec. 21, 2017 – Jan. 11, 2018 can expect to receive limited-edition pair of Uncle Death's Space FunGlasses. The shades increase defense and stamina for all those wearing them.
Additionally, Let It Die also has an all-star lineup of voice actors, including Mark Hamill, who lends his voice as the game's narrator, as well as Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars), Verne Troyer (Austin Powers), Steve Blum (Star Wars Rebels) Mark Rolston (Aliens), Laraine Newman (Saturday Night Live) and Tracy Lords (Blade).
