Upstream Arcade’s roguelite isometric shooter West of Dead is out today for Xbox One and PC but will be releasing in August for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Fortunately, PS4 players won’t be waiting long. A new trailer from Raw Fury has confirmed the game’s release for August 5th.

The game takes place in Purgatory, Wyoming in 1888. As William Mason, you navigate through the constantly shifting halls, battling various souls while motivated by the memory of a figure in black. Cover-based shooting is the name of the game as you utilize a variety of different firearms to take them down.

Cover will improve one’s reload speed but crumbles after taking enough damage. So dodging and weaving between cover to take down foes is essentially. West of Dead currently has a free demo out on all platforms to try and familiarize yourself with the controls and gameplay. Stay tuned for more details as it nears release for Xbox One and PC.

You might vaguely remember a twin-stick shooter with Ron Perlman called West of Dead. Revealed last year for Xbox One and PC, it’s slated to release on June 18th for Xbox One and PC. Furthermore, it’ll be coming to PS4 and Nintendo Switch later. Check out the latest trailer below.

The story is set in Purgatory and focuses on William Mason. With the world influenced by his memories, Mason is seeking a mysterious figure in black. His appearance will morph Purgatory as he guns down hordes of foes. With roguelike elements and procedurally generated levels, Mason will employ revolvers, rifles and cover to survive his trek.

The aesthetic is a nice mix of Wild West and grimdark, and Perlman’s impeccable delivery adds that extra bit of grit. If West of Dead sounds like your kind of shooter, then you can try out the open beta. It’s currently available for all consoles. Stay tuned for more news and updates as the Guerrilla Collective continues.

Of all the appearances we expected at X019, Ron Perlman in Raw Fury’s West of Dead wasn’t one of them. The twin-stick shooter is about William Mason who’s back from the dead with a vengeance. It’s not a Fallout title but it’ll do especially given how smooth Perlman’s delivery is. Check out the trailer below.

Mason is seeking a mysterious “figure in black” and must fight through Purgatory, which is full of procedurally generated areas and dastardly foes. You’ll shoot and dodge while also utilizing cover to make it through. If you’re keen on trying West of Dead for yourself, then good news – the open beta is currently available for Xbox One.

It’ll only be live till November 25th though so better hurry. West of Dead will be coming to Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass but is also slated for PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC release next year. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
