Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Mimimi Productions have announced Desperados III.

The latest in their western-themed gunslinging franchise will release across Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One sometime next year – news confirmed at this year’s Gamescom.

Featured above, you can view the announcement trailer for the game. Here’s a rundown on the game:

The Wild West. A place where the law is made by those with a gun in their hands, and is enforced by the henchmen at their command. A place where death is no stranger and the undertakers are working overtime… especially when people start playing Desperados III.

This real-time tactics game, developed by German game studio Mimimi (who earned their spurs with the critically acclaimed title Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun), lets players command a band of Desperados led by fan-favourite gunslinger John Cooper, who’s hunting down his nemesis.

Heavily inspired by the first game of the franchise, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, Desperados III will allow the player to approach each mission with a wide variety of different solutions and routes. As the player’s gang will always be outnumbered, only smart use of both the environment and each Desperado’s unique character skills will guarantee a victorious outcome.
