Supertrick Games has released Let it Die: Inferno, a bizarre extraction shooter sequel to the original Let it Die, on December 4, 2025. The game introduces PvEvP multiplayer and a unique hellish setting but faces backlash over generative AI use in development. The developer issued a statement clarifying limited AI applications for voices, art, and music.
Game Overview
Let it Die: Inferno is the sequel to the eccentric asymmetrical multiplayer game Let it Die, developed by Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture with Supertrick Games as co-creator. This new entry shifts to direct, real-time PvEvP multiplayer in an extraction framework, where players dive into the Hellgate to collect SPLithium and the Eye of the Reaper. The story begins with the player dying, being implanted into a new body, and serving in a sci-fi hub overseen by a brain-powered robot called Mom. The game's world features occult magic, modern apparel, and quirky characters like a possessed Nutcracker in a popcorn machine.
Gameplay and Reception
Combat involves melee and ranged attacks with weapon-specific Deathblows, a body swap system granting permanent boosts for surviving runs, and one expansive map divided by gates unlocked via milestones. Enemies include giant bugs disguised as dolphins and scuttling Craburgers, set against a vibrant color palette of purples, blues, and oranges. However, reviews note stiff movement and lengthy animations, with Steam showing a Mixed response. Microtransactions are prominent, locking body types, gear slots, and consumables behind premium Death Metal currency, raising concerns in PvP encounters.
AI Controversy and Developer Response
Controversy arose from the Steam page's AI disclosure, prompting Supertrick's statement on December 4, 2025. They detailed intentional AI use: generated voices for two tutorial characters, Moz and Gez—described as an AI-driven machine and mysterious life form—to fit their nature, with no human performers modeled. All other voices are human. AI created rough base images for backgrounds and inserts, refined by hand, aiding copyright compliance. For Iron Perch background music, AI generated stems, most rebuilt from scratch. 'We'd like to begin by being transparent about the use of AI tools during development,' the statement read, emphasizing creative choices over cost-cutting.
