In "Blood West," players step into the shoes of a lone gunslinger brought back to life by powerful spirits. Set against the backdrop of the Wild West, this dark and gripping adventure requires players to navigate treacherous landscapes, confront formidable adversaries, and build an arsenal in order to survive. Facing twisted demons and eldritch horrors is the only way to end the curse that has befallen the frontier.

Blood West is an immersive Wild West FPS where, as a revenant desperado, you take on the twisted demons and eldritch horrors, while you search for the means to end the curse that has befallen the frontier, and maybe find some peace for your wicked soul. One quest after another, the spirits of the land will lead you towards even greater challenges. And whatever your path may be - things will get rough. 

But, it’s not all about who has the biggest, baddest weapons – in the shadows of the Wild West, cunning and stealth are important allies. Players must master the art of the silent strike, silently stalking enemies through moonlit landscapes, carefully selecting targets and defeating foes without a whisper. In addition to mastering stealth skills, players must adapt their strategies, explore alternative approaches, and think on their feet to overcome threats. 

With its intense combat, gripping storyline, and stunning visuals, "Blood West" promises to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience

Take back the frontier, gunslinger! For hell is empty and all the devils are here!

New Blood Interactive announced its acquisition of the publishing rights to developer Hyperstrange's Blood West.

This strategic move marks a fantastic addition to an already burgeoning catalog of wildly successful and genre defining retro FPS titles for New Blood including DUSK, AMID EVIL, ULTRAKILL, Fallen Aces and Gloomwood.

“While amidst the backstage of the video games industry we see the landscape of collapse and panic, where the creative power of indie is covered by the rubble of falling and blinded financial titans - against all odds we’ve decided to push even harder into the quality and experience of Blood West. Finding like-minded and energetic allies like New Blood, the more we believe that all we need is action, the more we’re going to make it as a true survivor” - said Przemysław Miliński, Co-Founder of Hyperstrange.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Blood West into the New Blood stable of games, and to work alongside Hyperstrange to help deliver their vision for the game” said Dave Oshry, CEO of New Blood Interactive. “This strategic partnership aims to enhance the game’s reach and help add the New Blood secret sauce to an already great title - benefiting players and developers alike.”

Is what Dave would have said if he was a professional ^

Here is an actual quote from Dave:

“When Mili hit me up and asked if we wanted to take over Blood West and work on an expansion together I thought about it for all of 10 seconds before saying “fuck yeah dude let’s do this” and we had a deal in place about a week later. Bringing Blood West into the New Blood catalog not only makes us look cool but also gives us a Stealth trilogy to complement our FPS trilogy which I think will be good for sales or something. I don’t know, we hate money. Kelsey told me I had to write something here but I think that’s enough for now? <- Delete this part.

As part of this transition, New Blood Interactive will bring new content aimed at enhancing the Blood West experience, including the aforementioned Dead Man’s Promise expansion (starring Redd Pepper) and future DLC for the base game. The partnership promises to “unlock the game’s full potential” while creating exciting new experiences for players. 

Whatever the fuck that means. 

A promise made and a deal struck, your soul signed as collateral in your debt to the God of Death. Now your benefactor seeks to claim his due and sends his messenger to make sure you make good on your word...

Blood West: Dead Man’s Promise offers you a new story chapter of immersive stealth FPS action. The course of which will take you to a familiar place at an unfamiliar time. As Twen’s father, you will have to pay your debt to the God of Death and wrangle lost souls for his herald. Be prepared for another Weird West adventure with new eldritch horrors and new weapons to send them back to where they came from.

 

Key Features:

• Challenging FPS combat: Thrilling gunfights and heart-stopping battles against ruthless outlaws, rival gunslingers, and supernatural creatures. Players must master a variety of weapons and skills to overcome enemies.
• Stealth mechanics awarding caution: A true gunslinger knows that the element of surprise is priceless. The quietest hunters are often the deadliest, and the ability to successfully eliminate foes swiftly and silently is necessary for survival.
• Trait-based character progression: As players progress through the game, they collect skill points and gather artifacts that can be used to unlock new strengths and abilities to benefit their character. But, in the cursed world of Blood West, negative traits play a role as well. Each time the player dies, negative traits are accumulated and require action to reverse or negate the newly acquired negative traits.
• Unusual and exciting enemies: Enemies are not only a physical threat, but present players with a challenge to think creatively. Whether it’s figuring out how to deal with bugmen who scurry away to alert all nearby enemies, finding the right ammo to harm ghosts, or learning the vulnerabilities of undead alligators – the challenge of each enemy makes each confrontation an intense and memorable experience.
• Non-linear immersive gameplay: The ability to carve a unique path through the Wild West, and choose which quest to pursue next, provides players with an unforgettable, captivating, and empowering experience.

Blood West is available for PC (Steam).
