WolfEye’s first game is Weird West, an action-RPG that marries the Old West with the supernatural

“This ain’t quite the Wild West as you know it,” the narrator intones, and it’s a fitting line to describe what we see in the first trailer for Weird West, the debut action-RPG from independent game developer WolfEye Studios.

WolfEye and publisher Devolver Digital made the announcement tonight at The Game Awards. Announced last month, this studio counts Arkane Studios cofounder and ex-creative director Raphaël Colantonio and ex-executive producer Julien Roby as its founders. Arkane is responsible for hits such as Dishonored and Prey, and it created a cult-classic with its debut action-RPG in 2002. They’re using the “distributed” model for game development. So the team is in Australia, Texas, and anywhere else they live and work.
