Ubisoft has officially announced Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. The game is set to hit Xbox Live, PS Network and PC in early 2013. Gunslinger is “a real homage to the Wild West tales”, letting players “live the epic and violent journey of a ruthless bounty hunter onto the trail of the West’s most notorious outlaws.” Much like previous games in this franchise, Techland will be developing Gunslinger.
According to Ubisoft, Gunslinger will unveil “the untold truth behind some of the greatest legends of the Old West,” which is set to include Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, Jesse James and more. Gunslinger will feature “ruthless, all out gun battles”, and will allow players to use pistols and rifles in order to “unleash lethal combos” and “gun down multiple enemies in split seconds.” You will also be able to choose specific fighting skills and “develop and acquire new shooting abilities to become the West’s finest gunslinger.”
This is the official announcement trailer:
