Some of you may not know, but long before we were slaying zombies in the fictional realms of Haran and Villedor in Techland's Dying Light series, the studio also released a first-person Western titled Call of Juarez. That was also a series unto itself and was pretty damn good. (Maybe bring it back, Techland.)

This year marks 10 years since the last entry in that franchise, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, and to celebrate the fine folk at Techers are preparing an in-game event in Dying Light 2 Stay Human later this month you won't want to miss.




Here's all the official details:

10 years have passed since the legendary Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Techland’s flagship Wild West series of yore. This epic adventure of a ruthless bounty hunter on the trail of the West’s most notorious outlaws captured the attention of millions of gamers worldwide.

To celebrate, Techland is bringing the western style to Dying Light 2 Stay Human. During the Undead or Alive event, running from Wednesday, May 31, 7 am PT / 10 am ET until Wednesday, June 7, 7 am PT / 10 am ET, players will need to keep their aim sharp and nerves cool to dispense legendary justice with the help of a Gunslinger-themed Boomstick, AKA Mean-ass gun.

The aforementioned Boomstick can only be discovered during the event, when players will have a chance to come across it around Special Infected (except Virals), Postal Vans, Ambulances, and Military Trucks.

Players who channel their inner Billy the Kid can complete certain goals during the week-long event and get the opportunity to unlock exclusive items that hark back to Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, including the likes of Ray McCall’s charm, Dynamite, machete-like Bowie Knife (both weapon and blueprint), along with 25 Pilgrim Tokens to exchange for gear at the Pilgrim Outpost website.

Techland is also releasing more select items such as Silas Greaves Outfit, the Gunslinger Paraglider, and Dynamite blueprint along with Bowie Knife weapon and blueprint mentioned above in the Gunslinger Bundle ($6.99USD or around) $10.00AUD), the West’s finest addition to a notorious outlaw’s inventory.

Techland continues to support its open-world game well and truly beyond its release date, as promised, but it is, of course, the community who helps drive stuff like this.

Now, Techers... about that fresh look at Call of Juarez...
