Evil West
A new title, Evil West, is announced for us with Evil West taking aim with a dark and mysterious west in the United States
You may or may not have missed the fun announcement that Evil West is a new title that will be heading our way next year from Flying Wild Hog. This was all slipped into the mix of titles that Focus Home Interactive had to show off during The Game Awards this year with a cinematic trailer. Not something that normally is a huge seller for video games, but it did let us know that Evil West is coming. Thankfully, now we have a few more details to add into this announcement besides the fact that the game is coming and for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC in 2021. It is always nice to get these kinds of expanded details instead of just some pretty visuals.
It might not be easy to know from the following trailer for Evil West, but the game is all about taking on the role of some of the last vampire hunters in the west to help uproot the evil that is still out there. All in a solo mode or with a friend in some hot co-op action. All with some visceral combat as we explore the west and fight for some new weapons to help take all of these beasts down. Beast that, by the trailer for Evil West, do not look like vampires as most of us would know them. They look to be more like the mindless and blood-thirsty ones that would normally destroy the world in general without any restraint. I guess that is why we are here to make sure that does not happen and have a fun game in the mix too.
