'Let It Die' (ALL) Surpasses 6 Million Downloads, Celebratory In-Game Event Coming

by Rainier on March 2, 2020 @ 7:21 a.m. PST

Let It Die is a free-to-play hack and slash action game with a survival twist.

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.

It is a good day to die!

GungHo Online Entertainment (GOE) and Grasshopper Manufacture’s Let It Die has surpassed over six million downloads worldwide. The milestone comes after its exclusive debut on the PS4 in December 2016, later launching on PC (Steam) in September of 2018. 

“We owe it entirely to our dedicated fanbase, our ‘senpais’, for getting behind Let It Die and making this milestone possible,” says Kazuki Morishita, President & CEO of GOE. “The journey with them has been a pleasure as we have watched the game grow - just imagine the sheer amount of Death Data out there!”

To celebrate the momentous occasion, there will be an in-game event to be announced at a later date.

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).

Let It Die is available for download from the PlayStation Store and PC (Steam).
