News: Wet promises acrobatic ninjas, guns and swords.

Sierra has announced they will be bringing the A2M-developed title Wet to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime in the near future.

Wet will star Rubi, an "acrobatic gun-for-hire" that is hired by a man to look for his missing son. Soon, she is double-crossed and on-the-run with guns blazing in every direction.

?The mix of guns, acrobatics and swords in the midst of non-stop action will undoubtedly ensure Rubi takes the title as the most exciting heroine ever in video games,? said Martin Tremblay, president, Worldwide Studios, Sierra Entertainment. ?Wet is an exciting addition to Sierra Entertainment's original games portfolio.?

From the sound of it, Wet is attempting to merge Tomb Raider's sexy heroine with twin guns-style with Prince of Persia's acrobatic swordplay. Just take a look at the feature list:

Innovative 3rd person shooter gameplay: With her trusty twin custom made Colt Pythons, Rubi gracefully engages in amazing, cinematic high-body count gunplay against diverse and challenging enemies.

Acrobatics: Along with her guns, Rubi has an arsenal of death-defying acrobatic moves. Her incredible agility allows her to climb on ledges, slide under obstacles, swing on poles and run along walls.

Swordplay: Rubi's sword is an instrument for deadly close-quarter proximity attacks. Rubi will unleash a flurry of multi-staged stylized attack sequences.

Wet currently has no release date, but we'll let you know when Sierra turns on the information faucet.
