Wanted: Dead - Battle for Recognition

"Wanted: Dead", an action-packed game by 110 Industries set in a neon-soaked Hong Kong, struggled to compete against blockbusters like "Hogwarts Legacy". However, despite initial challenges and mixed reviews, the development team is not giving up and is planning a comeback that could surprise fans and critics alike.

A Challenging Release

The game, reminiscent of the good old PS2 era and blending hack-and-slash chaos with smooth third-person shooting elements, struggled to stand out alongside major releases. "Wanted: Dead" quickly faded into obscurity, but the developers at 110 Industries want you to know: the game is alive and continues to be improved.

Improvements and Future Plans

Despite mixed opinions, 110 Industries is continuously working on new additions to their action-adventure game. For example, Patch 12.2 brought some much-needed fixes to one of the early boss battles. In an exclusive interview, CEO Ruslan Akhmerov admits that the release posed a challenge but also emphasizes the team's pride in the achieved result, despite the turbulent times.

The Potential of "Wanted: Dead"

The reviews of "Wanted: Dead" paint a less flattering picture, with a current 'Mixed' status on Steam. However, Akhmerov and his team have mixed feelings about the reception. They take criticism seriously and are working on improvements. Many players already consider the game a cult classic, which motivates the development team to make the most of this perspective.

A Glimpse into the Future

Akhmerov reveals that "Wanted: Dead" has not reached the end of its journey yet. With major announcements planned for 2024, the goal remains to turn the game into a true cult classic. The development team thanks every player for their feedback and promises that the story of "Wanted: Dead" is far from over.

What Awaits Us

The future of "Wanted: Dead" remains exciting. As a fan of the game since Gamescom 2022, I look forward to seeing what the Zombie Unit team has in store next. Whether you're a fan of the neon-drenched dystopian vibes or simply on the lookout for the best FPS or cyberpunk games, "Wanted: Dead" deserves not to be overlooked. The commitment of 110 Industries to continuously improve the game shows that there is still much untapped potential in "Wanted: Dead."
