Whore of the Orient Now a Next Generation Title from Team Bondi

[Shawn Zipay]

Set in a pre-WWII Shanghai, Team Bondi's (L.A. Noire) upcoming detective title is now slated to be a next generation title.

"Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.

"From the development team who brought you L.A. Noire and The Getaway, along with the Academy Award winning film production team of Kennedy Miller Mitchell comes a completely new and original IP being developed for next generation games consoles and PC."

Nothing much has been revealed for the game other than the above blurb. With next-gen consoles not even officially announced yet, a release date for this game is not yet known either.

Why guys? I just woke up and I can't see what's so bad in it

You can't put the word Whore on a game box, hell here in the UK they wouldn't even allow the word "Bully". It's a bad name also.

Hmmm....other names that mean the same as Whore?Yeah if i listed them you'd realize the one they've chosen one that is least offensive.
