2 years 6 months ago

Wolfeye Studios’ cowboys and robbers-inspired sim, Weird West, is aiming for a Jan. 11 release date on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

The news comes by way of a press release and a freshly cut video that confirmed the new launch date. Go ahead and check out the new footage down below:

Announced at The Game Awards back in 2019, Weird West is an immersive isometric cowboy-RPG that places you in the shoes of a handful of distinct characters. Each of their narratives interconnect with one another in different ways and you’ll essentially get to see, control and influence their own personal origin stories.

Players can interact with the game’s world in numerous ways, and the developer promises in the above vid that, “if you see something that seems possible, chances are, it is possible.”

Resident Evil Village Set To Receive Free DLC

2 years 6 months ago

Capcom has said that Resident Evil Village is set to receive free DLC sometime in the future.

News of the free DLC was published in the company's recent annual integrated report. As part of the lengthy document, which looks back on the studio's year as a whole and also outlines its plans for the future, Capcom's Director and Executive Officer, Yoichi Egawa, spoke briefly about the company's development strategy and how plans for Resident Evil Village would factor into that.

"We will drive our customer management to understand the playing trends and preferences of users while also building a business model for online operations," said Egawa. "Taking into account the situation of our free additional DLC for titles such as Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil Village."

Currently, it's unclear what this free DLC will be. During its E3 panel earlier this year, Capcom confirmed that due to "popular demand," the studio was working on additional DLC for the game. However, since then, little more has been said on the topic.
