Publisher GungHo Online Entertainment and developer Supertrick Games have announced that an offline version for the free-to-play action game LET IT DIE is currently in development. Additional details have yet to be announced. LET IT DIE first launched on December 6, 2016 for PlayStation 4. It is also available on PC via Steam. The next game in the series, LET IT DIE: INFERNO will launch on November 3.

Producer Uncle Death commented on the announcement in the latest LET IT DIE: INFERNO developer diary:

“We’ve been running the service for a very long time since it started—we’ve been running it for a long time, but we’ve gotten feedback from customers for a long time that they want an offline version. So I thought, ‘Maybe we should just go ahead and make an offline version.’ Uncle was taking a bath the other day and just thought of it. And we decided to start production.

As for the fine details, like when the offline version will be ready, we’ll let everyone know over time. Today is the announcement that production is decided… Actually, the LET IT DIE you’re playing now—you’re playing online, right? That data can be carried over to the offline version… It’s not starting from zero. The data you’ve been playing with won’t be lost.”

The game’s details:

In the year 2026 AD, a large tectonic disturbance caused mass destruction around the world.

In the midst of the destruction, South Western Tokyo split off into the ocean where the seismic activity caused a large spire to rise out of the ocean piercing the island creating a tower-like structure deemed holy by some.

Under the watchful eye of Uncle Death, madness has spread across the world…

Senpai! I Was Waiting for You!

My name is Uncle Death, and I have a feeling we’re going to get along just fine…

Your task is simple, get to the top of the tower.

Let’s Reach for the Top, Senpai!

Fight your way to the top in this chaotic and pulp survival action taking free-to-play to a whole new level. Begin your journey in your underwear and survive by any means necessary while taking advice from Uncle Death, a skateboarding reaper.

Rumor has it that a sacred treasure awaits at the top of the Tower of Barbs for those that survive the climb. Many dangers and mysteries remain hidden from the eyes of mankind and await those courageous enough to dare approach the tower.

Collect and Develop Unique Equipment

Players fight through a treacherous tower obtaining various types of weapons and armor while finding creatures and mushrooms to eat in order to stay alive.

Pry weapons and armor from the cold dead grasp of your fallen foes or craft even better gear. Eat mushrooms, frogs, and other odd creatures to keep your strength up or activate special abilities. Strategize when it’s best to fight or sneak away to fight another day.

You may lose your belongings upon death, but death doesn’t always have to be the end…

Hyper-Violent Rage Moves and Goretastic Kills

When hacking and slashing your foes just isn’t enough, you can use ultra violent Rage Moves or Goretastics to finish them off with style!

Asynchronous Player-versus-Player

Haters – Upon death, a player’s “death data” is circulated among other player’s games where they will appear as formidable opponents called Haters.

Hunters – Need some loot but don’t have the time to go exploring the tower yourself? Send one of your Fighters to an unsuspecting enemy, and they will invade their world as a Hunter. These potentially lethal foes can gather up items and resources from an enemy’s tower for a set period of time. If they are killed before that, they get sent home crying to their master.

Tokyo Death Metro – Tetsuo brings the Tokyo Death Metro to a platform near you! Join a team, attack your opponents and raid their stash, but keep in mind they can return the favor! You can also enjoy bonus rewards during the Tokyo Death Metro Battle Rush Season. We hope to see you enjoying Tokyo Death Metro’s Luxury Attack Liner!

Train your body, develop equipment, eat everything that can be eaten. If you’re stolen from, steal it back… and, if you’re killed, kill them back!
