Namco Bandai’s announced that medieval romp Knights Contract will hit PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 22.

Set on a cursed locale rife with malicious beasts, the title sees players assume the role of Heinrich, an immortal executioner, and Gretchen who is a resurrected witch. The duo embark on a quest for purification.

As you’d expect, that endeavor will involve bloodshed. Lots of it. Namco is giving players more than one way to slay foes, either by a razor sharp scythe or explosive witchcraft. You can catch a glimpse at the carnage in the gameplay video above, which depicts a battle against a serpent-like monstrosity.
