Wild Bastards has you travel from planet to planet to recruit, manage and gun sling with a team of 13 outlaws, each of whom has their own weaponry, special power, and growth tree. On planets, you’ll wrangle loot and start showdowns that are then played out in intense, bite-sized shootouts.

Wild Bastards finds its lawbreakers hunted and nearly eradicated by Jebediah Chaste, a ruthlessly puritanical magnate. After killing all but two of the Bastards, Jebediah’s final targets are miraculously saved by a mysterious, sentient spaceship known as The Drifter. The Bastards flee an unwinnable standoff, exploring an ever-changing and lawless galaxy rife with precious weapons and spoils as well as grisly fates in a grand attempt to resurrect their compatriots while living to steal another day.

While working to demystify The Drifter’s intentions in saving them, you will amass a gang of 13 playable and uniquely talented criminals, managing the relationships between them and guiding their growth. Juggle injuries and feuds while plotting a path through the galaxy, exploring and fleecing planets and, of course, shooting anyone or anything who gets in the way. Prevailing through Wild Bastards’ campaign also unlocks a Challenge Mode which adds modifiers and a steadily ramping challenge to keep outlaws on their toes.

It’s almost time to saddle up the horses as the tactical first-person shooter Wild Bastards from Maximum Entertainment and developer Blue Manchu launches on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on September 12, 2024.

Starting today, Wild Bastards is available for preorder on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with a 15% discount.

Also beginning today, Maximum Entertainment released the first public demo for Wild Bastards, which can be played on Steam. 

Today’s release date trailer showcases a look at the 13 outlaws players will manage as they navigate the cosmos. Each of these fiends has their own unique set of skills, special abilities, and relationships with the other gang members. Whether taking down enemies left and right with Spider Rosa’s blistering speed (and extra appendages), burning down the battlefield with Smoky’s flaming fists or hitting a bullseye with Fletch’s exploding arrows, these outlaws will need to work together and fight tooth, nail and…whatever it is ghosts fight with, to make it out unscathed.

Key Features:

• Intense Showdowns: Prove you’re the ultimate gunslinger by blasting an array of enemies in bullet-flying shootouts.
• Tactical FPS Combat: Use your wits to overcome crafty enemies that utilize cover, flank you, and employ a huge variety of special moves from teleportation to homing poisonous quills.
• 13 Outlaws to Play: Rebuild a gang of 13 outlaws, each with their own unique weapon, stunt, personality, relationships, and ability tree.

• Keep The Gang Thriving: Accumulate resources to heal injured gang members, level up characters, improve relationships, and more.
• Strategize for Victory: Evaluate each planet’s terrain, enemies, and traits before selecting which gang members you want to land there. Collect items, level up, and use special locations carefully to turn the odds in your favor!
• An Ever-Changing, Lawless Galaxy: Roam the procedurally-generated galactic sectors and planets with varying parameters such as gravity, terrain features, weather, and more.
• Challenge Mode: After completing the main campaign, a challenge mode unlocks to offer a sequence of challenge sectors with increasingly difficult levels and mutators to modify the play experience.
