Grasshopper’s weird survival game Let it Die still has a pulse

It’s looking better in these new screenshots

For the longest time, I didn’t know what was going on with Let it Die. I still don’t, to be completely frank, but the third-person survival-action title has resurfaced and it’s looking much better.

Ahead of a playable showing this month at PAX East (booth #8116), Grasshopper Manufacture and GungHo have shared a few screenshots and also a short developer update video.

As best as I can tell, this is a PlayStation 4 exclusive about battling lightly-clothed men who are modeled to behave like other players. “The world we are creating will push the envelope for asynchronous, free-to-play games,” says executive producer Kazuki Morishita.

Is Let it Die exactly what we want out of Grasshopper and Suda51? Probably not. Especially if the words “Lily Bergamo” mean anything to you. But I will say that I am far more interested now than I was two years ago during Tokyo Game Show. Look for a fresh preview from Zack later this month.
