Pete Wanat Dishes On Wanted: Weapons Of Fate

We recently had a chance to chat with Pete Wanat – executive producer behind Wanted: Weapons of Fate – about the upcoming action title. As fans of Mark Millar’s amoral comic series, as well as the loosely based movie, we jumped at the chance to talk shop with the notoriously honest gaming veteran.

Game Informer: Much of the Wanted fiction was altered when it was translated from graphic novel to the big screen. Will any of the absent features/elements be brought back for the game? Wesley’s infamous suit seems to be making a return, which seems to have pleased many Wanted fans.
