GameShark | Xbox 360 | News | Venetica in Development from Deck 13

Deck 13 has released the details of its latest project, a role-play game entitled Venetica , for PC and the Xbox 360.

In the era of Venetica, Death walks among the living as a flesh & blood being, carrying out the deeds of an ancient council known by a few as Corpus. Each generation of the Corpus is set with the task of selecting the next predecessor of the bringer of death. Unfortunately, the most recent council had unwittingly selected a crafty necromancer who is determined on bringing death and destruction to the world.

This conniving imposter has managed to transform into an undead fiend, which no mortal man can kill. This power-crazed necromancer is hell-bent on destroying the reinstated Death and the council of Corpus. Only one person stands in his way, Scarlett, the daughter of Death.

Sounds….interesting?

Look for more details on Venetica to be dished out in the future before its expected release date sometime in 2009.

If NHL 2k9 were the only hockey game on the market it’d be an easy buy for any fan of the hottest game on ice. But even with exemplary competition on the shelf, this game still more than holds its own.

Finally, the Xbox 360 has a JRPG which it can claim as a true RPG gem, and if Tales of Vesperia doesn’t get RPG fans believing in the 360’s future with the genre, nothing will.
