LOS ANGELES
(August 22,

of Vivendi

announced
WET, a
seamless
integration
of intense
gunplay,
death-defying
acrobatics
and exciting
swordplay,
framed by
breathtaking
art
direction
and
unparalleled
animation
quality.
Developed by
A2M, WET
tells the
story of
Rubi, an
acrobatic
gun-for-hire.
When she
agrees to
help a
wealthy man
find and
bring back
his wayward
son, all
hell breaks
loose and
the tables
are turned,
as the man
who hired
her isn't
who he
appeared to
be. Now
Rubi's on
the run,
needing to
find the man
who left her
for dead and
leaving a
massive body
count in her
wake.
In an
adventure
that spans
three
continents;
WET will
keep the
adrenaline
pumping from
start to
finish.
“The mix of
guns,
acrobatics
and swords
in the midst
of non-stop
action will
undoubtedly
ensure Rubi
takes the
title as the
most
exciting
heroine ever
in video
games,” said
Martin
Tremblay,
president,
Worldwide

Sierra
Entertainment.
“WET is an
exciting
addition to

count
gunplay
against
diverse and
challenging
enemies.
•
Acrobatics:
Along with
her guns,
Rubi has an
arsenal of
death-defying
acrobatic
moves. Her
incredible
agility
allows her
to climb on
ledges,
slide under
obstacles,
swing on
poles and
run along
walls.

Rubi’s sword
is an
instrument
for deadly
close-quarter
proximity
attacks.
Rubi will
unleash a
flurry of
multi-staged
stylized
attack
sequences.
