The Ward – DS preview

Not one for hypochondriacs and hospital phobics. The Ward – due out on the DS later this year – is a horror first person shooter set in a nightmarish hospital. It’s one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year, despite being the first title from brand new studio Renegade Kid. We’ve had an advance look at the game already and our preview will tell you what to expect – better yet, we’ve got footage from the game for you to see for yourself.

The Ward – DS preview
What’s the story?

First shown at the Game Developer’s Conference The Ward has come out of nowhere to become of the most talked about games of the year. It’s being developed by a new studio, the Texas-based Renegade Kid.

What do we know?

As the title suggests the game takes place in a hospital ward, but one so spooky and disgusting it wouldn’t even pass NHS standards of hygiene. After waking up in a clammy bed disoriented and unarmed, your main objective is to escape the terrors of the nightmarish hospital.
