Diabolik to sneak into stores in April
Like its covert protagonist, Diabolik: The Original Sin hasn't been seen or heard from in many months, with no new word or sign of its once-impending release. Now, however, Black Bean has revealed that the game will be launched on multiple platforms this April.
Based on the titular comic book anti-hero, created in 1962 by Italian sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani, Diabolik casts players in the role of the master thief, knowledgeable in science and electronics, and a master of disguise. In order to rescue his lover and usual partner in crime, Eva Kant, Diabolik finds himself caught up in a plot filled with "unexpected twists, intrigue, love and vengeance" in a game that promises a unique blend of traditional adventure-based puzzles and "fast-paced combat and stealth sequences."
It remains to be seen exactly where the game falls on the genre spectrum, but it will certainly cover a wide range of systems, as Diabolik will appear on the PC, PlayStation 2, PSP, DS, and Wii systems when it releases throughout Europe this spring.
