I don't really expect any of you to care about this, since it's a new IP from an untested studio. Nevertheless, no other blog will deign to talk about it, so we're duty bound to give it some attention. You're just doing to have to deal with that.
In case you missed our previous coverage, which is hardly surprising, Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition is a first-person-shooter set in the 13th Century. Players are charged with tackling the enemies of God, smashing apart heretics and demons in what is undoubtedly a more interesting concept for a shooter than the usual space marine nonsense.
Until recently, all that existed of the game was talk. Now there are screens, although only a handful. The game is to be shown off in more detail next month in Lyon, so hopefully we can get some footage of the game in action soon.

I was gonna post a picture of Vagiant singer/guitarist Hellion but I figured no one would get it. :/
Seriously though, this does look pretty sweet.
Give me this. NOW.
A game based around the Inquisition in the Middle Ages is enough to spark some definite interest in me. It's good that some studios are willing to take such an over saturated genre like FPS and turn it on its head.
if it plays like deadspace i am sold.
if it's a button mash or/rpg i couldn't care less.
