Next joint project from Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality after Sine Mora

Black Knight Sword's mix of puppetry and papercuts will unfold on Xbox Live Arcade on December 12. The Suda 51 production puts a unique spin on retro sidescroller-inspired exploits, with a traditional Japanese paper puppet show aesthetic and the punk developer's prerequisite buckets of blood.

It's actually the second collaboration between Suda's studio Grasshopper Manufacture and Hungarian developer Digital Reality, the first being “diesel-punk shoot em up” Sine Mora. No price has yet been listed for the Black Knight Sword, which will also hit PlayStation Network at an unspecified date.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
