If you’ve ever wondered how the story of Little Red Riding Hood would have been different if it was a dungeon crawl ’em up set in post-feudal Japan, you’re in luck – that’s totally American McGee’s next project.<\/p>\n

According to Kotaku, Akaneiro is an action-RPG that casts Little Red Riding Hood and her buddies as demon hunters pledged to the professional demon hunting Order of Akane, who must hunt all the demons in a local village. Standard demon hunting stuff. The blood of the demons is then recycled into Karma Shards, which the Order harvests, so there’s obviously some vested interest there.<\/p>\n

Apparently Ms Hood has moved onto bigger things than big bad wolves since we last saw her.<\/p>\n

The game’s in development for PC browsers and tablets, and will be free to play but not “spammy”, pinky swear<\/em>. No launch date yet, but there’s a beta scheduled for “later this year”.<\/p>\n
