Evil West from Flying Wild Hog is a title we've got our eye on as it ticks quite a few boxes that we love. First, there's the weird west setting, and second, there's the fast-paced third-person action with well-worn progression mechanics. Today comes word that its planned September launch has been pushed back to November 22, 2022.
With the good news being that it's still on track for this year. Publisher Focus Entertainment made the announcement.
"First of all, we would like to thank you for your continued support and patience for Evil West," the statement reads. "We are overwhelmed by the incredible reception the game has gotten so far from our trailers and the demo some of you played at PAX EAST. We are working our very best to achieve our vision of the Evil West, and to meet your expectations. Evil West releases on five platforms, including multiple generations of consoles. Giving our game more polish is crucial to provide our players with not only good but also lasting memories. That's something that we've always pursued. To ensure that the game reaches its full potential, we have made the decision to delay the worldwide launch of Evil West to November 22, 2022."
