Sukeban Games, the developers behind Va-11 Hall-A, have announced their next game: .45 Parabellum Bloodhound. They’ve also confirmed that its first trailer will drop on July 19.
Sukeban Games previously worked on the “cyberpunk bartending action” game, Va-11 Hall-A. It’s available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC. The game is set to get a sequel named N1RV Ann-A, which would’ve initially released in 2020. Despite the numerous delays, it’s still being worked on in the background as their next game, .45 Parabellum Bloodhound, approaches completion.
.45 Parabellum Bloodhound Revealed, First Details Confirmed
Sukeban Games, the creators of Va-11 Hall-A, have announced their next game, .45 Parabellum Bloodhound. The upcoming release is described as an “Active Time Action” game. In short, they say that “you move and dodge in real time while you wait for an Action bar to fill at a speed determined by character and weapon stats. Once that’s done you can then stop time and plan your offensive.” It’s heavily inspired by the cult classic Square Soft game, Parasite Eve.
In the official announcement post, they describe it as follows:
You play as Reila Mikazuchi; a washed out mercenary whose glory days are long gone. In a last attempt at grabbing life by the horns she decides to go back to the life, only to realize the real enemy isn’t in front of her gun.
The whole game plays out inside these highly atmospheric environments peppered with hand-placed encounters. You’ll be roaming around finding secrets hidden all over the game’s world, as well as talking to quite the unique cast of characters. Not to mention cool boss fights at the end of every level.
A playable build of .45 Parabellum Bloodhound will be available at BitSummit Drift 2024. The first trailer will premiere on July 19.
