Weird West Releases Wild Horses, Drops Trailer
Yeehaw, pardner, Weird West has finally come to PCs, PlayStation 4s, the Xbox One, and Xbox Game Pass. It costs $39.99 (or regional equivalent) on Steam. Despite some previous delays, the sandier and boxier Wild West is here to play. Special Reserve Games has a number of premium editions for the collectors of the strange out there.
Weird West is a darker, grimmer fantasy take on the Wild West. Your iron-slinging cowboy lives out in the frontier and shares a world with fantastic and terrible creatures. Several heroes have emerged, and depending on your actions they can become legends of the West. Every journey has a number of paths and high-stakes decisions to make. You can form a posse of like-minded cowpokes or travel alone as a mysterious stranger. No matter how your travels unfold in the sandbox world, the characters will eventually come together in the final chapter. Dishonored co-creator and Prey creative director Raphael Colantonio (president and creative director at WolfEye Studios) headed direction on the game’s darkly fascinating world.
Having played through the preview a few months back, Weird West had a lot of good things going for it. It felt great with a controller, and there were a number of side tasks to complete in an interesting world. I described myself as being able to “yeehaw-dly wait” for the full release, so it’s got a strong recommendation. The announcement came with a trailer so you can see for yourself.
Weird West is the first game from developer WolfEye Studios. The studio has a fully distributed team. Employees work across six different time zones, four continents, and ten cities.
