Bethesda's upcoming action game has been unveiled.

Bethesda's upcoming Hunted: The Demon's Forge gets a new trailer today, and if you had no idea what Hunted was about before, prepared to be enlightened. The video focuses on the game's combo-based combat system, which makes full use of both character's unique talents.

Caddoc is your standard heavy weapons specialist, and his partner in crime, E'lana, has a thing for ranged weaponry. Gameplay sequences show the two working in perfect tandem, and once you bring magic into the mix, the duo is nearly unstoppable. An obvious example of teamwork? Freezing an enemy, then sending Caddoc charging in to shatter the poor bastard. Looks like both are capable of throwing around spells, so for once, it's not the girl's job to weave magic.

Hunted will be coming to Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 on May 31 for North American gamers, while Europe gets the game a few days after on June 3.

Developer Diary (w/ Lucy Lawless):

Game is released..atleast its available on *ahem* sources.Haven't played elder scrolls or other action rpgs so I want to try this.
Besides there's a hot chick with a bow and arrow as a playable character.And then there's her jiggle physics:D.So Anyone tried it?
 
I was planning to try it in co-op. Got both, the PS3 and the PC version. So is anyone up to try out co-op? It seems the game only needs you to have a GameSpy account.
 
Haven't installed it yet. From the gameplay videos, the graphics looked like bat-droppings. But people who have played it, say it's fun in co-op. I'll try it tonight and let you know. :)
 
Mate, you better stay away. By your gaming standards, this game should probably kiss your feet and start chanting "I'm not worthy" :P

Anyway, I just tried the Prologue chapter and the game seemed pretty decent. I think co-op would be much more fun. In SP, you switch between the 2 playable characters; E'lara and Caddoc. Combat consists of ranged bow attacks to close melee hack-en-slash style action. Enemies, so far, were just a swarm of skeletons. Gears of War style cover and fire mechanics makes a come back. Storyline is pretty thick at the moment. Voice acting is filled with amateurish one-liners. To answer nuke'em's query about jiggle physics, NO, E'lara's jugs stay static, no matter how much you try to jump/run. BUT she does show a lot of skin in that skimpy outfit of hers. :P

You can exchange enemy weapons, if your own wears out. There is a small stats screen comparing the fallen weapon against your own - same goes for the shield as well. Character combat upgrades are available too, as you keep gathering crystals scattered across the levels and spend it to gain higher abilities. Graphic detail is average, nothing special. Typical UE3 stamping all over it. Runs flawlessly on maxed out settings @60fps. The cut-scenes are presented pretty well. People have reported it to be 15 hours long. So by today's standards, it's a rather long game.

If anyone has the game, let me know if you want to try co-op.
