To help quench your thirst for more Vanquish-related media and ease your wait for the game’s release, a new batch of screens have been released showcasing why this certain title is in every gamers mind.
Vanquish is primarily a third-person shooter with a prominence on action.

Vanquish is the last of four games that fall under a publishing deal PlatinumGames signed with Sega back in 2008. Other titles released as part of said deal include Madworld, Bayonetta, and Infinite Space.
