[TGA 2019] ‘Weird West’ Announced
Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Wolfeye Studios (the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey) have announced action RPG Weird West for PC at The Game Awards 2019. In fact, the game has a Steam page.
Discover a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures. Journey through the origin stories of a group of atypical heroes, written into legend by the decisions you make in an unforgiving land. Each journey is unique and tailored to the actions taken – a series of high stakes stories where everything counts and the world reacts to the choices you make. Form a posse or venture forth alone into an otherworldly confines of the Weird West and make each legend your own.
After releasing its Chapter Two DLC late last year on Steam, Jasozz Games’ throwback FPS CULTIC is finally coming to consoles. Best of all, you won’t have to wait very long, as CULTIC will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23. Accompanying the announcement is a new trailer.
As part of the console release, the Steam version will see an update that will bring with it some of the improvements, optimizations, and bug fixes made during the console port’s development. Solo dev Jason Smith aims to have this update ready to go “around the same time as the console port.”
Released back in 2022 on Steam, CULTIC is inspired by 90s classic shooters, including Blood, Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2, and most notably, Resident Evil 4. The story sees you as a disgraced detective who dug too deeply into a string of grisly crimes. The result sees you dead. However, you’re down but certainly not out. Rising from your grave, you’re out for revenge against hatchet-wielding cultists, armed with an arsenal of mid-century firearms and explosives.
The console release includes the base game, along with the Chapter Two DLC together in a complete edition, featuring a combined 23 maps full of blood, grit, and, of course, cultists. After completing the story, you can also test your skills in the wave-based Survival Mode, which is inspired by Resident Evil 4‘s Mercenaries and Tripwire Interactive’s Killing Floor.
