A gameplay trailer which, we might add, looks to feature some setup spoilers so you might want to tread carefully when looking to settle into the 13-plus minutes of new footage on offer. It's been released, of course, in celebration of pre-orders being open for the Weird Western title which recently saw a slight delay.



You can pre-order "at your local retailer" according to the information we were sent, which also come with some official lines on soon-to-be-proceedings:

Discover a cowboys-meet-historical-figures-meet-gothic-horror world of corrupted politics and covered-up vampire situations within which young gunslinger Jesse Rentier and his father’s vampire-hunting organisation, the Rentier Institute, play a central part. Then plunge into the heat of the action as the Rentier Institute experiences a major crisis! Fight virulent hordes of bloodthirsty monsters in a burning building, unleashing your old-school rifle and cutting-edge Rentier Institute technology in an explosive mix of shooting and melee combat. The vampire menace hit hard and it will be up to you to eradicate it, starting 22nd November!

For anyone unfamiliar with what a Weird Western is, we lassoed in an expert on the subgenre -- local author, Christian D. Read, whose works include the very Weird Western Eldritch Kid, to thoroughly dissect and explain what is the Weird Western. And it is definitely worth a read.

Evil West is set to release this November 22 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. We'll have more on the game as we head towards its launch so stay tuned.
