The wild, wild West will have to wait to get Weird
The immersive sim mixing Western and weirdness is taking a little extra time to polish its spurs. Developer WolfEye announced today thatWeird Westhas been delayed to July 07, 2025.
In avideo messagefrom WolfEye creative director Raphaël Colantonio, the developer describes the internal response from its beta playtests. While they feel the game is really great, they also feel it’s not quite ready yet. The studio is looking to iron out a few more of the wrinkles inWeird Westbefore it’s out.
Originally set forJan. 11, 2022, it’s a push back of just a few months. But with that time, it sounds like WolfEye will attempt to polish and get its Western immersive RPG to a good, polished state. And hey, it also dodges the absolute flood of games arriving in the February 2022 window.
Announceda few years ago,Weird Westis a top-down immersive sim-meets-action RPG. It comes from WolfEye Studios, a teamfounded by former Arkane developers, so they certainly know what they’re talking about in the immersive sim space.
Weird Westplans to show a dark fantasy reimagining of the wild, wild West. So yes, gunslingers and outlaws running up alongside fantasy creatures. On its Steam page, the developer says that you’ll move through different character’s journeys, with choices affecting the world around you. Do you form a group and set out with a plan? Or are you a lone gun-for-hire?
It’s a set-up that is very intriguing, and I think it shouldn’t be too hard to wait just a little bit longer for WolfEye to put the finishing touches on it.Weird Westwill gear up to deliver its own unique take on the Western genre to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 06, 2025.
