Earlier this month, we finally got a rootin' tootin' release date for Evil West, the upcoming shooter from the team that brought us Shadow Warrior, and the recently-released Trek to Yomi. Well, just a few short weeks later, the team has treated us to an extended gameplay sequence and boy does this one look impressive.
Evil West mashes up the Wild West with, well, evil things, lots of evil things. It almost looks like DOOM meets Red Dead Redemption, which is one hell of a mashup if we've ever heard of one. In action, it looks even more impressive.
"The trailer also gives you a look at the minimal interface while you play, as well as the menu you’ll access to craft your playstyle, upgrading your deadly arsenal and unlocking new perks to evolve your monster-slaying mastery.
Delve further into monster-infested locations, facing hulking abominations, screeching monstrosities and ancient vampires as your mission to destroy the ultimate evil leads you far into the darkness to take on spectacular boss fights."
Flying Wild Hog's latest effort hits Xbox platforms on September 20th, so we're not far off at all! Sadly, this one isn't coming to Game Pass at launch, but it's looking worth the separate purchase we have to say.
Will you be bounty hunting later this year in Evil West's rendition of the Wild West? Let us know below!

It looks really good, and I’m excited to try it out. The game wasn’t even on my radar until a couple of months ago.
Looks and sounds interesting enough to want to 'try' it but not enough that I want to 'buy' it - at least not at 'launch' and launch prices. Its a game I'd more likely pick up in a sale or be happy to see it added to a Sub service I have....
He must have learned how to open treasure chests from Kratos.
This looks really cool, reminded me of romb raider but with cowboy theme and supernatural enemy.
It’s like Red Dead Redemption meets Bullet Storm meets DOOM! Looks awesome. Solid gameplay.
Icoulda sworn this was coming to XGP but I must have gotten this confused with Weird West.. I did really like Weird West though. But damn this looks sooo much better now compared to when it was first anounced like a year or two ago
Always feel conflicted. I want more AA games, I want more fun, fantastical, OTT games that are less realistic. But when I see something like this I also see the jankiness and the potential problems and I'm not sure I like it. Will keep an eye on this one and wait for reviews.
Not usually a fan of this style of game, but this looks interesting. I think if it's the same team that Developed Trek to Yomi that adds some Kudos. It looks like the videos have been very well recieved online. I think gamers have been missing that mid 2000's crazy fun kind of game.
Never heard of this game until the showcase...now I need it in my life!
