Originally set for a January release before being move to March, Weird West was developed by a team made up of former Arkane Studios devs and features a simulated sandbox world set in a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West.

Each playthrough is unique and tailored to your actions, because everything counts, and characters, factions, and even places will react to the choices you make.

You can even form a posse or go it alone and play by your own rules with your own particular motives.
