Denmark based Total Overdose and Chili Con Carnage developer Deadline Games has announced its latest next-gen shooter, Faith and a .45, promising "an original take on the Great Depression" with its Bonnie and Clyde-esque storyline.

Deadline says the game is a "gritty, cross-country epic" featuring a "heavy focus on characters, co-operative gameplay, road movie storytelling, and cinematic aesthetics."

Faith and a .45 tells the story of "two outlaw lovers destined to go down in history," Luke and Ruby, who will battle "an oppressive enemy force, led by a ruthless, corrupt oilman who's out for their blood."

Though no further details have yet been announced, the company says it will be revealing more on the game to selected publishers at this year's GDC.

Said Deadline CEO Chris Mottes, "Since we at Deadline have our roots in movie production, we value original stories, settings and characters very highly. Our previous games are testament to this, but we believe Faith is going to take our creative might to a whole new level."
