Wet (stylized as WET) is a 2009 third-person shooter action game, developed by Artificial Mind & Movement and published by Bethesda Softworks for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A PlayStation Portable version was planned, but ultimately cancelled.[1]
Wet's gameplay revolves around killing opponents with both firearms and swords while engaging in acrobatic moves. In its story and setting, Wet follows heroine Rubi Malone (voiced by actress Eliza Dushku), a "problem-solver".[2] Wet's title derives from the euphemism "wet work" – a messy job or task that involves one's hands becoming wet with blood.
Originally set to be published by Sierra Entertainment, Bethesda Softworks eventually announced that they would become Wet's publisher.[3] The game received mixed reviews from critics, garnering praise for its gameplay, music, and production values, but was criticized for its graphics, levels, and lack of innovation. It sold 1 million units. A sequel to the game was announced in 2011, but was cancelled.
