What We Know About Evil West’s Story

You will become a Wild West superhero as you take on the role of Jesse Rentier, an agent in a top-secret vampire-hunting institute. Can you prevent the vampire threat from taking over the United States? Only time will tell as you battle hordes of vampires, and monstrous bosses, and discover what lurks beneath the shadows.

What We Know About Evil West’s Development

Evil West was officially announced during The Game Awards 2020 event. It was supposed to have a release on September 20th, 2022, but was delayed until its current release in November.

The Devil May Cry series heavily influenced the game’s combo system. God of War (2018) heavily influenced the game’s use of a third-person perspective and its melee combat. These are two of the greatest beat ’em up series ever created, so we are extremely excited to get our hands on this game when it is released.

Evil West is available for preorder on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox X|S Series.
