Sega and Bizarre Creations release info on two more of the combatants who will appear in The Club early next year.

The first rule of The Club is probably that you do not talk about The Club, or something similar. However, that hasn't stopped Sega and Bizarre Creations from releasing information on the game's combatants and locales in recent weeks. In our previous spotlight on the game, we were introduced to deep-cover operative Kuro and an adrenaline junky named Seager. This time we've got two more playable characters to introduce to you, and both can be seen strutting their stuff in our never-before-seen videos. Enjoy:

Hello Dragov

Dragov looks like a force to be reckoned with in this trailer.

Dragov (The Beast)
Built like a mountain from his Siberian homeland, Dragov is a hunter, a trapper, and--after his recent escape from a maximum-security gulag--the most wanted criminal in Russian history. It took three platoons of Spetsnaz special forces to get him in there the first time, so in the aftermath of his escape the Kremlin deployed snipers aboard military helicopters to pursue him. Word of Dragov's bid for freedom reached someone at The Club, though, and it was decided that Dragov was worth a lot more alive than dead. Several tranquilizer darts later, Dragov is unconscious and en route to his new owners, who have promised him the freedom he desires if he makes it through the contest alive.

Meet Renwick

Renwick shows that he'll be just fine without backup in this trailer.

Renwick (The Roughneck)
After serving over 30 years with the NYPD, no-nonsense detective Renwick is one of the most decorated cops on the force. He also has plenty of contacts in the criminal underworld, and after hearing rumors of The Club he felt compelled to investigate it. After being blocked at every turn by corrupt bureaucrats, Renwick was ultimately taken off the case, and when he tried to take his story to the press, he was framed with allegations of accepting bribes. Forced to resign, Renwick spent his premature retirement and a sizeable sum of his own money continuing his investigation until, while following up on a lead, he got a little too close to comfort for The Club's organizers and was ambushed by enforcers. Now Renwick is The Club's star attraction, though his only motivations are survival and a shot at bringing the organizers to justice.

The Club is currently scheduled for release in February next year. We'll bring you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available.

    It would have been pretty cool if they had made a female character to play since it's a nice change but I doubt they will.

    I'm not gonna lie, both Dragov and Renwick look pretty badass. I think it's going to be a blast playing (and slaying) as them.

    lakeerie_effect, its attitude like that thats generates low hype for a game. This is Bizarre creations, and ive played the PS3 demo myself, its a **** of fun. My only complaint is the aiming feels a bit stiff, but i havent actually played around with the sensitivities yet. Its a game that definitely warrants some attention, especially because its being developed by famed developer of the PGR series.
