The development studio Sobaka has announced a top down action title called Redeemer and in it you play as a monk who is out to defend himself. There is a reason he is being hunted as this monk is named Vasily and he used to be an elite soldier for an arms corporation. Twenty years prior to the events of the game the corporation decided to terminate their contract with Vasily, and he escaped to a monastery where he has remained undisturbed.
