The Club gets joined

Sega has fired off a round new shots of its upcoming sprint 'n' gun action title, The Club. In among the 24 grabs on offer, you'll see a showcase of the game's steel mill location, along with snaps of new character Dragov, aka The Beast.

The East German steel mill is located in the industrial town of Jaegerhof , purchased by the mysterious cabal behind The Club as a site for its ballistic bloodsport. Packed with walkways, graffiti and even a train depot, it's the ideal complex for The Club's brutal, speedy gauntlet of gunning.

As well as the mill, you'll be plugging away at the combo-driven action in a prison known as 'The Citadel'. A ruined jail that's seen more than its fair share of riots and violence before closure in the 70s, the owners of The Club now use it as a yet another secret arena for well-armed thugs to blat one another to shreds in the name of underground entertainment.

Dragov is a burly Siberian criminal, formerly top ofRussia's most wanted list and now the latest recruit to The Club. He'll join Renwick - the ex-cop you'll have seen in many a screenshot over the past year - as a playable character in the game's line-up.

While The Club may be all about speed, however, it's still making us play the waiting game - that release date is still refusing to budge from its non-committal 'TBC' status. Shoot.
