Weird West Launch Date Pushed Back to March 31

Developer WolfEye Studios and publisher Devolver Digital have announced that their upcoming Spaghetti Western-themed action-RPG, Weird West, will be arriving a little later than expected. Yes, the game has received a slight delay and is now scheduled to launch on March 31 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Weird West’s Creative Director Raphaël Colantonio was the bearer of the news which was delivered via a devlog over on YouTube. You can check out the footage below:

As you can see above, it’s clear that the team need a little more time to iron out some issues and make the game the best it can be before it launches. “On one hand we realize that the game is really great, on the other hand we realize it’s not quite ready yet.” explains Colantonio. “We want to deliver the best experience as possible. This is why we’re pushing the game to March 31st, 2022.”

It’s worth mentioning that the pedigree behind Weird West is laudable. Specifically, Raphaël Colantonio is one of the co-founders of Arkane Studios, the studio best-known for its work on the recent PS5 timed console exclusive Deathloop, as well as the Dishonored series and the more modern entries in the Wolfenstein franchise.
