When news reached us that Sega would be tightening its belt and focusing more on its big name franchises we were afraid that the quirky, cartoony platformer/shooter Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit would be among the casualties. Thankfully, though, Arkedo Studios’ project appears to have avoided the chopping block and is still set to release sometime this year.

Game Informer sat down with Arkedo founder and developer Camille Guermonprez to get an update on the game, including a first look at it in action. The video interview weighs in at just over a paltry three minutes, but any news on the project is welcome after its existence at all was in question.
