The monster-slaying mastery of Evil West releases on Xbox, PlayStation and PC

In Evil West, evil never sleeps. In fact, it bleeds. 

Available to purchase and download right this minute on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, Evil West from Flying Wild Hog and Focus Entertainment is a super stylish, highly gory action combat affair, one in which you’ll be thrust onto the American frontier and left to become some kind of Wild West superhero. 

Priced at £49.99 from the Xbox Store (and you should expect that price to sit roughly across the formats), Evil West sees Flying Wild Hog take what they’ve learnt from previous releases of Shadow Warrior 2, Shadow Warrior 3 and Trek to Yomi before dropping players into a world like no other. 

Evil West focuses on the most explosive of combat, the chance to unleash utter hell via an array of firearms, gadgets and more. It’s all about the killing, you see, and no matter whether you do that alone or with a friend via the cooperative options, this is one that promises to wow. 

We’re currently mid-point in our full review of Evil West on Xbox Series X|S and will let you know how it plays out in the coming days, but if you’re after something explosive, destructive and full of lore, this is one you will not want to miss. 

Key game features include:

• • Battle alone or with a friend in stylish, gory action combat
• • Myths and legends retold within a stylised, weird wild west universe
• • Evolve with perks, upgradable weapons, and tools
• • Explore and fight through a story-driven campaign to save America

There’s also a little DLC pack accompanying launch – the Wild Wild East Skin Pack will set you back £2.49, adding in a Golden Defender outfit and five unique weapon skins for the Rifle, Revolver, Boomstick, Zapper and Gauntlet.
