The Wild West has never been this dark.

Thrown into the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds of Purgatory, your skills will be put to the test as you shoot and dodge your way through the grime and grit of the underworld. West of Dead evolves the twin-stick shooter with tactical cover usage, find out if you have what it takes to get through Purgatory with your soul intact.

Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy) stars as the voice of the main protagonist William Mason, a dead man awakened with only the memory of a figure in black. His existence sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences. No one said dying would be easy.

Love is for the living, but you are not alive, my friend!

The gates of purgatory are open! The wild, cover-based, twin-stick shooter mayhem of West of Dead is back in a new open beta on Xbox One and PC (Steam), running until April 13.

Did you manage to kill the Wendigo? Are you ready for a new challenge? A whole new level has been revealed today.

Prepare yourself for a deep dive into the underground gold mines. A place where miners who became so enamoured with their find, lost their souls and their lives before they could find their way out. 

In a place where the caves are dark and the water is putrid and each step is one corpse closer on the path to finding out who you are.

(Please note: Steam-players are recommended to play with a gamepad for this Beta-session.)

West of Dead is developed by Upstream Arcade, a UK-based studio Upstream Arcade founded by the ex-Lionhead veteran developers and gatekeepers of the underworld Adam Langridge and Imkan Hayati, and being published by Raw Fury.

The battle for your soul will take place on Xbox One (Xbox Game Pass), PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2020.
