Techland Call of Juarez: Gunslinger teasing targets Red Dead Redemption 2Oct 8, 2018 - EurogamerTechland's cowboy game Call of Juarez: Gunslinger could be about to make a comeback - of some kind. First came an image of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger on the series official Facebook page, along with the provocative slogan "legends never die"; and then, moments ago, a short video appeared with a message for Rockstar's upcoming cowboy mega-blockbuster Red Dead Redemption 2. "Silas Greaves has something to say to Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang," said the trailer blurb.

A based-on adaptation of Diablo 2's Necromancer, Diablo 3's iteration headlines the Rise of the Necromancer expansion pack due for release later this year. Unlike Reaper of Souls, Rise of the Necromancer will not add a new act to the game's campaign. Additions include the Necromancer class, more room in your stash, a couple of extra character slots, and cosmetics. You'll need Reaper of Souls installed to play the Necromancer beta, as well as Rise of the Necromancer when the DLC add-on launches later this year.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger returning to Old WestSep 5, 2012 - ShacknewsAfter a brief jaunt into the present-day with the crowbait Call of Juarez: The Cartel, Techland's yee-hawing FPS series is returning to its Old West roots in Call of Juarez Gunslinger. It'll be a downloadable affair, setting you off on the trail of Wild West legends like Billy the Kid and Jesse James as a bounty hunter. Publisher Ubisoft describe it as an "arcade FPS," whatever that means. The announcement mentions skill development, giving you new "shooting abilities," and neat tricks like dodging bullets. Gunslinger is coming to PC, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in the first quarter of 2013. We have a few screenshots, and here's the live-action announcement trailer: Ubisoft researching new Call of Juarez - surveyNov 25, 2011 - EurogamerUpdate: Techland has offered Eurogamer a statement about the Ubisoft survey. "This is an alleged leak from Ubisoft. They're our business partners and a publicly traded company. Techland is in no position to comment on such rumours. There are no new games we'd like to announce at this time but obviously Techland is working on a number of projects." Original story: Ubisoft is allegedly researching a new Call of Juarez game that appears to favour the Wild West setting of old. A survey sent by Ubisoft to owners of Call of Juarez: The Cartel asked what gameplay set-pieces people would like to see in an "as yet unannounced game", according to The Gaming Liberty. That list of set-pieces gives the impression of an old Wild West setting: * Hunting an outlaw in the rocky mountains; * Defending a ranch attacked by Mexican pistolleros; * Preventing a bank robbery; * Rescuing an innocent man about to be hanged up; * Taking part in a shooting contest; * A gun duel in the empty main street of a town against your worst enemy; * Guarding a fort against a group of outlaws; * Helping a man to escape from the sheriff's office; * Defending a train attacked by Native Americans on horses; * A gunfight in a saloon after a poker game; * Preventing outlaws from pillaging a gold mine; * A fusillade between lawmen and outlaws; The Call of Juarez series, made by Polish Dead Island developer Techland, consists of three games: Call of Juarez, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and this year's Call of Juarez: The Cartel. The first two were set in the spaghetti western Wild West. The Cartel, however, was set in the modern day Wild West of Los Angeles and Mexico. The Cartel was critically the weakest of the bunch, which may explain Ubisoft's decision to return to vintage cowboy times. The publisher may also be attempting, however, to piggy-back the runaway success of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption. If Call of Juarez 4 could be released a year or more before the next Red Dead game, Ubisoft would undoubtedly cash in. But doing so would risk Techland rushing development - a prospect fans who remember the buggy release of Dead Island won't delight at, to say the least. Call of Juarez review awarded 8/10. "Of all the cowboy games in the last few years, Call of Juarez is the one which most feels like it has a soul," concluded reviewer Kieron Gillen. "Impassioned and imaginative, its velocity of invention can make you smile through any flaws. It's a game which you feel someone actually cared about making." Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood was a Ubisoft game, released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2009. Bound in Blood ditched Billy and focused on Reverend Ray's past, introducing his brother Thomas along the way. Eurogamer's Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood review awarded 7/10. "It's a little rough and old-school in some places," wrote reviewer Oli Welsh, "but that suits its cantankerous, revisionist mood and down-and-dirty subject matter. But above all, it's a proper western, set in a tangibly real...Daily Deal - Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood 75% off!Sep 12, 2011 - AnnouncementToday's Deal: Save 75% off Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood!
