September 24, 2008 - ZEN Studios, a videogame developer and digital publisher known for its innovative arcade and action games, announced today that it has secured licensing rights for the Punisher from Marvel Entertainment. The studio is currently developing The Punisher: No Mercy, the first ever arena-based first-person shooter created exclusively for the PlayStation Network.

Powered by Unreal Engine 3, No Mercy was designed with fast-paced online multiplayer FPS action in mind. With inspiration rooted in the Punisher's rich comic book history, the game allows players to choose from an eclectic mix of Punisher allies and villains. Battle arenas span from shipyards rife with contraband to the "birthplace" of the Punisher's archenemy, Jigsaw, and up to eight players can blast away at each other in a variety of solo and team-based missions.

"The ZEN developers are huge Marvel fans, and the Punisher is certainly one of our favorite characters," said Zsolt Kigyossy, CEO of ZEN Studios. "With No Mercy, we're creating gameplay unlike anything else found on PSN. This includes unique features like character-specific taunts, many of which were pulled directly from the comics."

In addition to exceptional online play, No Mercy also offers a single-player Story mode featuring exclusive artwork from acclaimed Marvel artist Mike Deodato. Fans won't want to miss the Punisher's Marvel team-up with Silver Sable against such foes as Jigsaw, Barracuda and Bushwacker.

The Punisher: No Mercy is currently Rating Pending, but is expected to be rated Mature by the ESRB for a true Punisher experience. For more information, please visit www.punishernomercy.com.

Holy crap another exclusive for SONY. Punisher No Mercy,Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty,DC Universe Online,Siren: Blood Curse,The Last Guy and others. Sony is getting a very good list of games for the PSN.

September 24, 2008 - The Managing Director of Zen Studios popped up on the official PlayStation Blog yesterday to talk about the upcoming PSN exclusive, The Punisher: No Mercy. Today, Zsolt Kigyossy returned with a handful of screenshots and a whole lot of details.

Set to run on the Unreal Engine, No Mercy will include "dark, smoky / hazy levels with realistic characters and environments, but we're still keeping several comic pages impressions that truly capture the essence of what fans have come to expect from the Punisher franchise" according to the post. A trailer is coming soon, there is going to be a single-player mode, and Trophies will be supported.

There's even going to be character customization.

"Players can select special abilities before the battle that can give you tactical benefits on the field if you exploit them cleverly," Zsolt said.

The game will pack close quarters, long range, and special weapons; run at 30 frames a second, and hopefully be less than 1 GB in download size. IGN will keep you posted as more details come to light.
