Deep Silver has announced that two games which take place in its presumed-dead Ride To Hell biker universe are coming before the middle of the year.

A Ride To Hell game was due from Deep Silver in 2009, but never surfaced and was presumed cancelled.

Ride to Hell: Retribution is a third-person action-adventure that tells the story of a lone rider on a merciless path of revenge against a brutal biker gang called The Devil’s Hand.

It promises a world of bare-knuckle violence, seedy strip clubs, and rip-roaring motorcycles, and is being developed by Eutechnyx, which has previously developed a number of vehicle-centric games for NASCAR, Hot Wheels, Ferrari, and others.

Ride to Hell: Retribution is due on June 27 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.

Ride to Hell: Route 666 is an arcade title that involves recruiting gang members and conquering the legendary Route 66.

It promises fast paced combat combined with easy to understand tactics – according to Deep Silver “anyone who understands team sports will be able to dive right in to commanding their gang”.

It is in development at Black Forest Games (who developed the recent Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams), and is due out on June 27, from the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam.

A third Ride To Hell game for mobile devices is also planned.
