Multiplayer aspect confirmed for MadWorld

SEGA has launched the official US site for MadWorld. In addition to some screenshots and other goodies, a few new details about the game have been confirmed, including multiplayer. The multiplayer offering has been described as “Blood Bath Challenges.” Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

“Take control and complete in a variety of ultra-violent ‘Blood Bath Challenges’ which can be played offline multiplayer with your friends or enemies.”

A bit of the plot has additionally been revealed, and it looks as though Varrigan City has been taken over by a virus.

“Driven into quarantine and chaos by the outbreak of a deadly virus, ‘survival of the fittest’ takes on a whole new meaning as trapped citizens are pitted against each other in the gruesome sports show, ‘Death Watch’.”
