Desperados III Release Date Confirmed For This Summer

THQ Nordic’s anticipated western real-time tactics game Desperados III has a release date; a new announcement trailer today confirmed the June 16 across all platforms.

For the uninitiated, Desperados III is a story-driven tactical stealth game set in an authentic Wild West scenario. Developed by German game studio Mimimi Games (Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun), players command a band of Desperados led by fan-favorite gunslinger John Cooper.

Desperados III serves as a prequel tale to Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. The game tasks players with combining the abilities of five different characters to make their way through each level, choosing either a lethal or non-lethal approach.

Also revealed in tandem is a new story trailer detailing the game’s central main protagonist, John Cooper.
