We've spruiked our love toward, and deep understanding of, the Weird Western sub-genre a fair bit this year, and as more and more information about Flying Wild Hog's entry into its eclectic halls via Evil West comes to light, we're really starting to think the developer might be onto something. A potential sleeper hit, if you will. And today's new co-op-focused trailer only solidifies our keenness on it all.

Take on monster hunting with a friend

Designed as an explosive solo action adventure at heart, Evil West does not shy away from offering the option to turn an intrepid lone ranger’s journey into quality time slaying vampires with a buddy. It takes the form of an online cooperation mode that allows for two players to team up. Host and invite a friend on a segment of your journey or take on all missions together, blasting horrifying monsters in tandem and unleashing explosive combos in twice-the-fun, twice-the-style sequences. Mix and match your characters’ weapons and skills for ever-expanding action possibilities!

I think keeping co-op as simple as an effective drop in, drop out option that doesn't muddy any of the game's story or progression, and features two of the main character, is an interesting decision, but might wind up being the right one.

It's not far now till sundown on Evil West, due to swarm to PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S this November 22.
