Become Death's daughter in Venetica: new PC, Xbox 360 RPG

Publisher dtp describes the game's story as "cryptic" with a sixteenth century-style open world that "mixes emotions and action." However, like Scarlett, who apparently knows nothing of her lineage and hidden powers, we too are left guessing regarding most of Venetica's details. Still, the initial batch of screens and a teaser website have made this one look original enough to watch out for in 2009.

Wait a second... isn't Death's daughter called Ysabelle?
For a moment I was hoping for a new Discworld game there... :(

As was I. Still, there's a one in a million chance that they'll change it to that. But it just might work.

I was about to say; forget Piers Anthony, Terry Pratchett writes the best Death by far!

After reading about "him on a pale horse", Discworld's death was the first thing that came to mind.
Another Discworld game would be nice.

Another RPG on the 360? Oh I drool at the prospect it being fun!
More RPGs for the 360 only means more great things!
Gamer98 @ May 28th 2008 2:35AM
+1 for the 360's already expanding library of RPG's

Nice Piers Anthony reference!!! One of my favorite books...
Nate @ May 28th 2008 10:18AM
Ditto. Loved Piers Anthony in Jr. High and Highschool. Incarnations of Immortality was a very good series, kinda surprised to see a reference on Joystiq to it.
Premaximum @ May 28th 2008 2:41AM
Kudos for the Piers Anthony reference.

wow her face looks like shit
ALH @ May 28th 2008 4:42AM
oh look, another heroine with big, barely concealed boobies.
I'm no rabid feminazi,if the game wants boobs it can have boobs, but goddamn, how about a bit of variety now and then in character designs? It seems its all too easy to slap a corset on and you're done.
ComradeTrotskii @ May 28th 2008 11:14AM
Agreed. Lose the corset and have her running around sans upper body clothing ;-)
ALH @ May 28th 2008 11:27AM
haha, i dont mind that idea, would certainly be 'different'.
velocitySTRIKE @ May 28th 2008 5:18AM
What'll happen to Death. Jr?
journeyman @ May 28th 2008 6:58AM
I'm curious, but worried they'll cock it up. And also disappointed that it's not a discworld reference.
Wii60Warrior @ May 28th 2008 8:56AM
ZOMG but the xboxz is the SHOOTERBOX!
Seriously though this is a good anouncement. Just gives more credence to the fact that the 360 provides plenty of options for anyone who wants to play different types of games.

I didn't know "Death" was able to procreate
