According to the trailer’s description, the story of MOOSA: Dirty Fate is inspired by Korean history, and will revolve around the protagonist’s quest for vengeance, while also including themes of responsibility and ambition. Its main setting will be 17th-century Korea.

The title has been described as an action game, where players will face off against terrifying monsters as they slowly start uncovering grim truths behind a cursed fate. This will eventually lead the player to partake in epic fights to ensure that they can save their people.

Along with this, the combat has been described as being quite brutal, and that’s quite evident from the trailer itself. The player will have to take on many different kinds of enemies, and will have access to a wide array of weapons and special moves to overcome these challenges.

Not too many other details about MOOSA: Dirty Fate have been revealed, at least for now, aside from the fact that its world will involve a mix of history and myths, and that it will feature “atmospheric storytelling.”

MOOSA: Dirty Fate is coming to PC and Xbox Series X/S in 2027. The game will also be making its way to Xbox Game Pass.

Much like the original Gungrave G.O.R.E., Blood Heat will pick the story up right where Gungrave VR left off, with the Gunslinger of Resurrection taking on the Raven Clan. Its story has been described as a epic and emotional one that revolves around vengeance, love and loyalty. The title is quite old-school in how it presents the action to players, complete with combo counters and fast-paced action, as well as the complete lack of a cover system despite the emphasis on third-person gun play alongside melee combat.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. Blood Heart is being developed on a new engine, and will feature a number of enhancements over its previous release, including enhanced visuals as well as more modern gameplay systems. It will also bring with it the heritage system, as well as a host of new exclusive playable characters.

The Gungrave franchise has existed for over two decades at this point, with the first release in the series coming out all the way back in 2002 on the PS2. At the time, it got a single sequel in 2004, dubbed Gungrave Overdose, before the franchise went dormant. 2018 saw a revival of sorts for the series with the release of Gungrave VR for PlayStation VR, which brought with it newfound interest in the overarching Gungrave franchise.

The series has traditionally revolved around techno-engineered gunslinger Beyond the Grave, who was resurrected with an advanced technology dubbed the Necrolization Project. The original title’s plot revolved around a young girl named Mika who looks to Beyond the Grave for protection. The sequel took things three years into the future, with Beyond the Grave once again being reawakened by Mika as she tries to stop the spread of a deadly drug called SEED. Ultimately, this drug would end up being the focus of future titles as well.

Gungrave VR—the first game in the franchise to be developed by Iggymob rather than Red Entertainment—revolves around the rise of the Raven Clan that has taken over distribution of SEED in a Southeast Asian area dubbed Scumland. The title featured several call-backs to its predecessors, including new characters that would turn out to be descendents of important ones from previous installments, like Cheni Angel—the granddaughter of Gungrave Overdose’s Richard Wong.

The Gungrave series also saw a bit of expansion in the form of an anime adaptation back in 2003. While it focuses primarily on the events of the first game, the anime acts as an alternate retelling of the same story, following the life of a street punk, Brandon, and his encounters with Beyond the Grave changing his life.

No release date for Gungrave G.O.R.E. Blood Heat has been announced as of yet. For more details, check out our review of the original release.

A new patch is available to remedy this. It adds a free cel-shaded mode to mimic the look of the older titles and a new idle motion mode where Grave randomly changes his pose when stationary for over ten seconds. New demolition shots with dynamic camera action have also been added. The developer also notes changes to the core gameplay with 25 “various systems” receiving tweaks.

“We have improved on the balancing using feedback from players so they can enjoy the game more comfortably and in a more approachable way,“ said producer Kim Darhoon. He also asked players to look forward to “future updates,” so stay tuned for more details.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. It’s also playable on Game Pass. You can check out our official review here for more details.

Set after the events of Gungrave VR, the story concerns the Gunslinger of Resurrection, who takes on the Raven Clan to stop the spread of The Seed, a dangerous drug. He’ll have to contend with enemies possessing different abilities using martial arts and dual pistols. There’s also Death Hauler, a heavily armed coffin that can break shields, fire missiles, pull enemies close with its chains, and much more.

After players venture around the world, they’ll eventually arrive on Scum Island to defeat the Raven Clan. Those who complete the game at G.O.R.E. difficulty can unlock the Brandon Heat skin, which alters one’s abilities and moves in combat. Check out how it looks here.

It’s easier said than done since The Seed confers special abilities on enemies. Thankfully, there’s Death Hauler, a massive coffin full of weaponry. It can break shields and repel rockets, transform into a turret, unleash all kinds of shots when spun around, and even fires missiles. You can also use its chain to pull enemies close and employ them as human shields or smash them into the ground.

There’s even a buzzsaw for dealing more damage at close range. Locations include Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong, each with unique environments and obstacles. It all culminates on the mysterious Scum Island, where one must face down the Raven Clan.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is out on November 22nd for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. It also launches day one on Game Pass.

For those who don’t know, Brandon Heat is Beyond the Grave, aka the Gunslinger of Resurrection, when he was still human. He was still one of the best assassins in Millenion and more than holds his own in a fight. When donning the skin, the player’s abilities and moves are changed, as seen in the trailer below.

To unlock the skin, players must beat the game at G.O.R.E. difficulty, the toughest in the game. Gungrave G.O.R.E. is out on November 22nd for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. It also launches day one on Game Pass. Stay tuned for more details as we approach the launch.

Speaking to Xbox Wire, business development manager Bobby Jung-Woo Park said, “Studio Iggymob just got back from Germany after attending Gamescom where we showcased hands-on gameplay for Gungrave G.O.R.E. to fans and players. The response was completely off the charts! We’re so happy to have finally been able to share the unique experience that is Gungrave G.O.R.E and thankful to fans for showing such energy and enthusiasm!”

Published by Prime Matter, Gungrave G.O.R.E is a follow-up to Gungrave VR and stars the titular Gunslinger of Resurrection. Seeking revenge, the anti-hero uses dual Cerberus Pistols to take down hordes of enemies. He can also use martial arts and the transforming EVO-coffin for even more damage.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is out on November 22nd. Along with Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC, it will also release for PS4 and PS5. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming months. In the meantime, check out the trailer from last year’s Tokyo Game Show here.

Industry analyst MauroNL on Twitter noted a promotional email from Xbox, which mentioned titles like High on Life and Pentiment on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Gungrave G.O.R.E. was also featured on the list. Though not officially confirmed by Microsoft or publisher Prime Matter, its inclusion may be announced soon.

It may even appear at Tokyo Game Show in September, since gameplay for the same was showcased last year. Time will tell, so stay tuned for more details. Gungrave G.O.R.E. takes place after Gungrave VR, and sees the Gunslinger of Resurrection returning. Along with shooting hordes of foes with the Cerberus Pistols, players can also utilize martial arts at close range and transform their EVO-coffin for even more devastation.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. might be coming to Game Pass on release, according to a promotional e-mail from Xbox.

The third person action shooter will launch in November. The announcement comes via Gamescom, and was accompanied with a new trailer, which briefly sets up the games story and introduces its main characters and central antagonists. There’s also a few brief glimpses of gameplay and combat in there. Check it out below, courtesy of IGN.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is the first new instalment in the series since Gungrave: Overdose came out for the PS2 eighteen years ago, in 2004. With its focus on explosive combat and high-octane action, it certainly seems to be capturing the vibe of its predecessors.

It’s out on November 22 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

As Grave, players will use a transforming coffin and twin pistols to battle with. Along with human enemies, supernatural foes like the undead and mechs must also be hunted. Some scenes can get especially ludicrous with Grave conjuring up a giant bullet and firing rounds into an entire room of enemies. It’s a lot to take in visually, but the project does have Ikumi Nakamura of Ghostwire: Tokyo fame involved.

For even more footage, check out the previous trailer from Tokyo Game Show 2021. Expect more details and gameplay for Gungrave G.O.R.E. in the coming months. In the meantime, stay tuned for further announcements and details from IGN’s Summer of Gaming expo.
