[Original Story] With each passing day, the likelihood of a PC release of Vanquish, the third person shooter developed by Platinum Games, seems to increase. Two days ago, SEGA shared a new teaser which seemed to hint at a Vanquish release this year, and a few hours ago the Japanese publisher shared another one hinting that this release may happen soon.
On its official Twitter profile, SEGA shared another image with a number 5 on it, hinting at the current month. While the image doesn't seem to be a Vanquish screenshot, it's highly likely that it's related to the other day's tease, which was a screenshot of the game's main antagonist.

Vanquish is among the most interesting titles released by Platinum Games, combining high speed action and precise shooting.
You are Sam Gideon – an American soldier armed with state-of-the-art combat armor known as an Augmented Reaction Suit. Battle for the fate of your nation in a shooting action game like none ever seen!
In addition to an arsenal of firearms and considerable hand-to-hand combat skills, Sam has a few tricks at his disposal thanks to the power of ARS: Tricks like AR mode, which shows him surrounding enemies in slow motion, and Boost, which lets him slide around the battlefield at breakneck speed. Mastering these abilities and more is critical to surviving the no-holds-barred action!
Vanquish combines precise shooting and fast-paced combat action in dazzling new ways.
Vanquish is now out on PS3 and Xbox 360. We will keep you updated on the possible PC port as soon as more comes in on the matter, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
