Hellish Wild West Shooter ‘Evil West’ Moseys to September Release [Trailer]
After being teased with trailers during consecutive TGAs, developer Flying Wild Hog has finally announced that their weird wild west shooter Evil West will be headed home this Fall. This comes from Evil West’s Steam page, which has a release date of September 20th for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and the Xbox One.
Along with the release date, new pre-order goodies have been announced for Evil West. The Wild Wild East skin pack features a new gold outfit, along with gold variations of your equipment and weapons.
Evil West sees the American frontier being consumed by darkness in the form of vampires and other hellish creatures. As one of the last agents in a top-secret vampire-hunting institute, you are the final line between humanity and a deep-rooted terror that now emerges from the shadows.
Armed with your unique brand of weapons, including your lightning-fueled gauntlet, you’ll be killing bloodthirsty monstrosities in style as a lone hunter or in co-op with a friend. Explore and fight in a narrative-driven campaign while upgrading your weapons and hunting tools. You’ll also be unlocking new perks to evolve your monster-slaying mastery.
Get fired up by the explosive third-person action and unleash hell in Evil West, coming to PS5 and PS4 on September 20: https://t.co/nuFgmu5YqS pic.twitter.com/5WdABXFbT3

Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
