Namco bringing Dead to Rights back to life in Q4

deadtorights

Namco will be breathing new life into the Dead to Rights franchise later this year, according to the March issue of OPM.

Neither release date or platforms have been confirmed as yet, but come Q4 you’ll once again be entering Grant City with a faithful dog companion.

Game mechanics are to stick with third-person shooting, but this time you’ll be able to engage in more hand-to-hand combat than previous versions.

1UP reports that shots in the magazine have a bit of a “Jason Bourne-style” look about them, and that the game is reportedly not a prequel, spin-off, nor a sequel — but an entirely new beast all together.

Sounds rather interesting.
