The Wet game has been picked up by Bethesda who will publish the AM2-developed third-person action title this Fall for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Wet was previously to be published by Vivendi Games and Sierra but was one of the titles that was dropped after Vivendi merged with Activision to form Activision Blizzard.

From the Edge article:

“We’re very excited about the opportunity to bring Wet to all gamers,” said Bethesda president Vlatko Andonov. “Our proven success as a publisher which focuses on select, innovative titles matches up perfectly with Wet’s new class of gameplay.”

“We were looking for a publisher who shares and supports our creative vision of bringing a stylized, daring approach to the shooting genre”, noted Patrick Fortier, creative director at A2M. “With its impressive track record, Bethesda Softworks is the ideal publisher for Wet and we are thrilled to be working together.”

Here is a trailer for the game.

Wet is a third-person action game that seamlessly combines acrobatics, gunplay and swordplay in a cool, over-the-top, stylish and cinematic style. The game stars a new gun-for-hire female character named Ruby, who will take any job: theft, assassination, protection, interrogation, bribery, etc. as long as the pay is right. She lives off the land but never goes anywhere without her signature weapons.
