Game publisher Meridian4 and Elephant Games
(formerly known as White Elephant) are thrilled to announce the signing of a
North American publishing agreement for their third adaptation to their highly
successful Action/Shooter franchise RIP; RIP3 – The Last Hero.

are really excited about having it published by Meridian4, and hope you will
enjoy this game as well as the previous parts." said Elephant Games CEO,

installment will have everyone hooked.” said Steve Milburn, Director at
Meridian4.
About RIP3 – The Last Hero
The game combines the dynamics of a hardcore
shooter while preserving the elusive classic arcade appeal and never lets up on
the intense action. Every level presents a new challenge, requiring you to not
only prove your sharp-shooting, but to think and act tactically.
The terrain and environments must be employed to
survive waves of adversaries, but since all in-game objects are destructible,
you must think fast. Your hero will travel all over the world from the African
jungle to the Arctic snow, through secret labs and bunkers, in the streets and
skyscrapers of Metropolis city and also go into deep space using a hijacked
spaceship.
