Supertrick Games Reveals Let It Die: Inferno Sequel Game

During Sony's State of Play livestream on Wednesday, Supertrick Games announced Let It Die: Inferno, a new sequel to its 2016 game which will launch for the PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on December 3 PST, and on December 4 in Japan.

The company describes the game:

LET IT DIE: INFERNO is a Rogue-Lite Survival Action game where you can engage in chaotic battles with grotesque monsters, enemy factions, and even other players.

Humanity had just recovered from the unprecedented cataclysm known as "Earth Rage," when suddenly, a massive chasm appeared—large enough to swallow an entire city whole. Someone began calling the hole “Hell Gate,” and lying at its depths is the "Eye of the Reaper," a powerful crystal containing the energy to rule the world. Explore, survive, and extract from the Inferno, where stage layouts and item placements differ every match.

In this game, on top of PvEvP—where players and enemies collide within Hell Gate—there is also a mode for battling exclusively with other players. We hope you enjoy this powered-up version of the LET IT DIE world!

Suda51 and GungHo Online Entertainment revealed the original Let It Die game in its first incarnation in 2013 as a game titled Lily Bergamo. Illustrator Yuusuke Kozaki (No More Heroes, Speed Grapher, Donyatsu) was in charge of the game's artwork. They revealed the game again in 2014 with a new art style, and with its current title of Let it Die. The game launched on 2016 for the PS4 worldwide, and in Japan in 2017.

GungHo Online Entertainment split Grasshopper Manufacture in 2018, retaining the majority of the development team of Let it Die and splitting them off into a separate company named Supertrick Games. NetEase Games later acquired Grasshopper Manufacture in 2021, the company now completely separated from the development of Let It Die. The company developed Deathverse: Let It Die and released it in October 2022, only to delist the game in July 2023 to "redevelop" the game.

Update: Corrected developer to Supertrick Games, and added details of Supertrick Games' split with Grasshopper Manufacture and later development. Thanks, Arale Kurashiki.
