Dark Souls Publisher Picks Up This "Mature" Xbox One/PS4/PC Shooter

Dark Souls publisher Bandai Namco has announced that it has reached a deal with Polish Painkiller developer The Farm 51 for its upcoming Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC shooter, Get Even.

The project has been in development for years now. It's being billed as a "psychological thriller" that combines FPS elements with personal investigation. It aims to distance itself from the pack of shooters.

"Eschewing the usual clichés and gung-ho scenarios currently inhabiting the FPS genre, Get Even packs an alternative, mature, and intriguing story combined with strong shooter elements," Bandai Namco said in a statement about the game.

Not only is Bandai Namco publishing Get Even, but the company is also providing production support.

Bandai Namco executive Herve Hoerdt added that Get Even will be one of the publisher's "key titles" for the coming year. For its part, The Farm 51 development director Wojciech Pazdur said aligning with Bandai Namco will allow Get Even to realize its full potential.

Get Even is slated to launch in 2016, and will even support the Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets.
