Blood West News

Today we join our friends at Realms Deep, a gaming event filled with world premieres, special guests, interviews, and much more. For this occasion we have prepared a trailer of the upcoming Chapter 3 as well as a small surprise for y'all.

Stephen L. Russell joins Blood West's voice cast as the main character - the revenant gunslinger. You may know him as Garret from the Thief series, Corvo Attano from Dishonored, Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 or you might have heard his most recent performance from Starfield.

[h2]News From Chapter 3 [/h2]

In our last announcement, we gave you a little teaser of what you can expect in the third chapter. Today's trailer has shown a lot, so let’s break it down together and shed a bit more light on secrets that the newest chapter holds. As you will travel through the mountains with your new undead buddy, you will stumble upon not only old railway tracks, desolated towns and not-so inviting circus tents, but also upon a lot of unsavory types looking to make your unlife more miserable.

One such fellow is the Defiler, a scrawny looking type that has a bit of a headache - why do you ask? He has a bat-like creature living rent free in his noggin. Said hellish tenant will forcefully evict itself if its “house” is disturbed - just make sure it won’t find living space in your head when it does so.

Another foe that you will encounter will be the Hellbear - half-human, half-bear abomination. This monstrosity has both the head of a bear and a human, and whichever you will damage it will affect the monster's behavior, disabling offensive capabilities associated with said head.

How to deal with these varmints? With the help of a new and reworked skill system. Now you will be able to fan the hammer on your revolver or go berserk on your foes. Besides these and other new awesome skills, we will be rebalancing old perks and making some of them multilayered.

[h2]One more secret to uncover[/h2]

To end this news update we would like to tease you with some pretty artwork. What is it for? Hell, soon you will find out !



[h2]Stay safe, Partners
Enjoy the upcoming show at Realms Deep[/h2]

Dreamhack Beyond is right around the corner, Dudes, and you guessed it - we are in it! However, this bit of news isn’t just about that. While you are keeping up with all news related to Blood West, we would like to showcase other things we have been cooking for your gaming pleasure!

But, but, but... before these beauties will be ready to be injected into your veins, you gotta follow and wishlist. It makes the algorithm gods happy and jolts our developers’ hearts with joyful exuberance - whatever that means.




Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer.

CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.

There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck.

In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.

If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator. Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000!

Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife!

Unless he gets lost in the grocery aisle again.

Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper.

In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print.

During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.

[h3]Wishlist the game!
If you can't wait to play, we have a prologue waiting for you![/h3]

If you are peckish and looking for something more crunchy to stimulate your strategic mind, then look no further than Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII.

Master the intricacies of the game’s systems to keep your units supplied and armed with the best equipment and dismantle enemy forces through combined-arms tactics and help from your cabinet of generals.

We know you’re eagerly looking forward to our full release coming December 5th, 2023. So are we! To sweeten the waitin’ game, we’ve prepared some sneak peaks of what comes after yet another summoning of your infamous outlaw in Blood West: Chapter 3!

If you’ve yet to play our Wild West game, the current Steam Stealth Fest might be a great excuse to pick up Blood West for 25% OFF... to catch up with all the menaces haunting Barren Lands and the Swamps. And prep yourself to head to the Mountains. How dangerous could they be?



If you’re a greenhorn, beware as there’re spoilers ahead! As you remember, our next stop will be the Mountains. They’re covered with dark forest, hiding loads of new varmints and secrets, where with each step our desperado can stumble upon a swarm of glowing-red spirits. Apart from the omnipresent trees and branches, a whoppin’’ rift can be spotted, with even more enemies awaitin’ anyone daring to enter it. And once you do, the air can get a bit more… demonic. A worn-out railway sprawling across the location is not to be missed, one can only wonder where it might lead. Both seem quite fitting to the mountain setting unlike a circus that can be spotted in the distance. Its presence itself has a mysterious aura, as what’s even going on here. All this and more unravels before your eyes as you arrive with your newfound companion, in quite unlucky circumstances – this new level brings quite a few fresh additions to your favorite bloody lore. Being the final episode, we’ll draw a conclusion to the story of your well known dudes and dudettes, what the future holds for them is up to you, Gunslingers!

Don’t be buffaloed by a dark night in the desolate woods giving you peaceful vibes, as there’s plenty of varmints rumbling around. Same as Chapter 2 did, another installment introduces a new variety of monsters! We’re keeping most of them as a surprise, but with the promised sneak-peak comes an introduction to the Demon! The skittering sound of the steps of its stilts-like legs are bloodcurdling to anyone nearby.



It dwells in places often shrouded in dark vapors that are detrimental to the health of the living beings. It’s known for tirelessly stalking its prey, and, in spite of its size, it cuts dirt devilishly fast. We don’t have any evidence that this slightly hunched monstrosity is an inhabitant of Hell, but we can assure you it can be hella tricky to defeat as it can discharge devastatin’ ranged attacks. Just look at these four upper limbs! Beware as in melee fight they’re capable of rippin’ you to flinders. During the fight, the Demon also takes advantage of the vapors that tend to surround its lairs.

Even tho’ we throw you into the deep end with all this new spawn of monsters, you won’t go around unprepared as you’ll have plenty of chances to get some new barking irons, legendary weapons included. No matter if you’re more of a gunslinger or an archer, we have you covered with fire-new weaponry.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Get ready for Sentence, whose previous owner was a self-proclaimed judge, traveling through different villages looking for those who are dodging the law. Each blow meant yet another judgment executed. Once equipped it can’t be taken-off and for each slain foe you will recover a bit of health.

Moreover you may find Spite, a unique bow covered in thorns and spikes. It does not require ammunition as it draws blood from the player and forms it into arrows - so you have to be sure not to overdraw the string. Arrows shot with it defy laws of physics, which makes them hellishly accurate. Furthermore, as you’re struggling to hold it with all its stingy surface, you could swear you can hear a faint chuckle from within.

And here is the kicker, both of these weapons interact with a new phenomenon found in Chapter 3 - the hell vapors. Once within their reach these weapons unlock new powers. For the Sentence, almost each shot becomes a critical shot, while Spite no longer damages you when used.

[h3]All this and more comes to all of you in less than five months, till then
Good fortune, partners![/h3]
