Weird West is an action RPG experience set within a surreal vision of the developing frontier.

Survive and unveil the mysteries of the Weird West through the intertwined destinies of its unusual heroes in an immersive sim from the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey.

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.

Developer WolfEye has been hard at work over the last six months, gradually evolving and polishing the Weird West experience based on community feedback. 

The successive transformative updates include enhanced player progression with fully revamped and rebalanced RPG systems and economy, more diverse secondary locations, loot and encounters, new combat tuning options and balancing - including an alternative aiming system and increased non-lethal options, reworked companion AI, completely overhauled UI that includes a new Posse Reputation tracker and a whole new game mode that added permadeath, higher stakes and bigger consequences.

Now is the ideal time to discover the esoteric adventures of five perfect strangers in their most complete form, and to encourage you to do so, WolfEye is permanently opening the Bounty Hunter Journey (the first of Weird West's five journeys) for free on Steam.

And for those who can feel the call of the weird, compelling them to take that next step into the unknown, this weekend Weird West, the full game, is also available for 50% off on Steam, Epic Games Store and Good Old Games. On Steam, save files made while playing the free Bounty Hunter Journey will also carry over seamlessly to the full game once purchased, so saddle up and prepare for a ride on the wild side.

Weird West is available for PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam).
