D3 have recently announced a brand new IP set to ship in the first quarter of 2009. Known as Eat Lead: The Return Of Matt Hazard, the game is a Gears-style third-person shooter with a slyly irreverent sense of humour.
Starring the titular Mr. Hazard, the game’s story has been written by 2008 Writer’s Guild Award winner Dave Ellis of Dead Head Fred fame. Eat Lead will lampoon certain videogame conventions and lovingly homage some of the dev team’s favourite games, past and present (see Matt Hazard’s back catalogue shots).
