A2M's promising-looking acrobatic shooter/swordfighter 'Wet', as it turns out, just about kicked the bucket due to that whole Activision Blizzard/Vivendi merger thing. Luckily publisher/developer Bethesda Softworks have come in and brought the game to safety!

The fate of the game was imperiled by The Great Vivendi Franchise Culling of 2008, though we're pleased to hear it won't be wandering the vaporware wasteland much longer -- according to the release, Wet is set to moisten PS3s and Xbox 360s come this fall.

As an interesting aside, the press release also reveals that Buffy vet and current Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku will provide the pipes for Wet's armed-to-the-teeth protagonist, Rubi Malone. Oh, you picked Faith to voice your sassy, violent femme? Way to think outside the box, guys.
