Atari today announced the forthcoming release of Desperados 2: Conspiracy, an enhanced and expanded version of the tactical Wild West action game Desperados 2: Cooper’s Revenge.

Developed by Spellbound Studios, the game boasts a wealth of new additions including original settings, advanced quick actions, new character actions, the introduction of character combo actions into the gameplay, and a new dedicated movie-mode. Desperados 2: Conspiracy is scheduled for release on the Windows platform in Q4 2006.

With its challenging gameplay and flexible camera angles Desperados 2: Conspiracy lets gamers play it their own way, choosing from over the shoulder third person view or isometric top down view, allowing players to get in the thick of the action and carry out strategies and tactics with pin point accuracy. In addition, Desperados 2: Conspiracy adds stunning new Stetson-friendly settings as backdrops for the action, and with the dedicated movie-mode ‘wannabe’ Western film directors will be able to create their very own movies with the stars of Desperados.

Game Features:

  • Real-time strategy and tactics combined with an exciting story and thrilling Western atmosphere.
  • Varied new settings including a stormy train robbery, bloody sunset in Santa Fe, ambush in a dark and gruesome town, and a visit to beautiful New Orleans.

  • Three levels of difficulty and an improved A.I. with advanced tactical opponent behaviour.
  • 4 new individual actions per hero and brand new combo actions.

  • New feedback system analysing and reporting on player skill level.
  • Movie-mode: direct and produce your very own Wild West movie starring the heroes of Desperados 2: Conspiracy in breathtaking situations and wild stunts.
