We may not be getting a new Red Dead Redemption game anytime soon, but Flying Wild Hog could give us the next best thing with their upcoming title Evil West.
The game is set to launch later this month, and we have a new trailer showcasing the multiplayer gameplay aspect of Evil West. Watch this:
Read the official description:
Designed as an explosive solo action adventure at heart, Evil West also offers a cooperation mode that allows for a 2-player walkthrough of the game, turning an intrepid lone ranger’s journey into quality time slaying vampires with a buddy.
Invite your friend on a segment of your journey or take on the whole campaign together, blasting horrifying monsters in tandem and unleashing ultra-explosive combos in twice-the-fun, twice-the-style sequences. Mix and match your characters’ weapons and skills for ever-expanding action possibilities!
With earlier trailers showcasing a whole group of vampire hunters, I would expect that the multiplayer version would allow us to pick and choose who we get to play. Instead, we have another gold-colored version of the protagonist.
Who knows, maybe they can say it’s some kind of magic that allows a person to split themselves in two; but until we get some kind of in-lore explanation, I’m going to chalk this up to the developers adding multiplayer in the last minute.
Eh, it’s nothing a future DLC can’t fix.
Evil West is set to launch for the PlayStation 4|5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on Nov. 22.
