It's been quite some time since we last heard news of Wild West tactical stealth sequel Desperados 3, with it even managing to sail passed its original 2019 release window without a peep. The silence is now broken, however, and publisher THQ Nordic has confirmed that Desperados 3 will now come to PC and consoles sometime this summer.
Desperados started back in 2001, offering a cowboy-themed slab of squad-based real-time tactical action that played similarly to the much-loved Commandos series. Desperados 3 (actually a prequel to the original game) arrives well over a decade after Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge, and is being handled by Mimimi Games - the developer behind 2016's hugely enjoyable, and mechanically similar, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.
When we last heard from Desperados 3 in August 2019, it was to introduce another of the game's playable characters - voodoo practitioner Isabelle Moreau - and today's updated release window news is accompanied by a similar reveal.
