SouthPeak Games has announced X-Blades, a third-person hack-and-slash action title for PC and next-gen consoles. Set for release later this year, the game has players controlling an anime-styled heroine who battles through a host of locations using guns, blades and magic.

“The unique anime-style backdrop combined with high-octane, multi-discipline combat gameplay really pushes X-Blades into brand new territory,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “The 3rd-person ‘hack-em-up’ genre needs a fresh perspective and X-Blades is poised to deliver it.”

Players assume the role of Ayumi, a heroine who battles enemies with the aforementioned weapons. It is not exactly known why she must fight, but their press release speaks of “demonic hordes” and “frenetic supernatural battling,” so it should be fun.
