Deathverse: Let It Die reveal trailer shows off PS5 online melee action

It's coming in 2022, and it's also on PS4

Deathverse: Let It Die is a new online action game with big dystopian energy.

While Grasshopper Manufacture was directly involved in the creation of the first game, the studio is no longer part of GungHo and doesn't seem to involved with this next chapter. Either way, it looks like GungHo and Supertrick Games are aiming to carry Grasshopper's trademark exploitation film vibes into Let It Die's far future.

The trailer follows a pair of idiosyncratic hosts as they narrate the action between players: each contestant brings their own unique melee weaponry to the game where "survival is the only rule", with the arsenal including katanas, buzzsaws, a giant hammer, and more. It looks as if you'll rack up "likes" by pulling off certain impressive moves such as diving straight onto your opponents or pulling off flashy finishers.

While much of the trailer is focused on PvP action, Gungho has confirmed that you'll have even more threats to attend to: mutated creatures called Uma inhabit Deathverse's island stage, and "nigh-invincible Hunters" will descend to start harrying players halfway through each match.

We also got a new look at Little Devil Inside during the State of Play, featuring cute maps and less-cute impalement.
