West of Dead launches for Switch in August, new trailer

During today’s Guerrilla Collective presentation, publisher Raw Fury and developer Upstream Arcade announced that the fast-paced twin-stick cover based shooter West of Dead will be available for Switch in August. A specific date will follow in the near future.

Here’s an overview of West of Dead plus a new trailer:

Purgatory, Wyoming, 1888.
A place of gun smoke and darkness, sin and damnation, wendigos and witches. A shifting, chaotic world that takes its form from the memories, culture or beliefs of the souls who pass through. When a dead man awakens with only the memory of a figure in black, he sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.

Step into the boots of the dead man William Mason (voiced by Ron Perlman) and descend into the grim and gritty world of Purgatory in this fast-paced cover shooter which combines the fluidity of twin-stick controls and tactical cover usage. Put your skills to the test – Dodge behind cover as you try to outgun your enemies in the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds. The Wild West has never been this dark.

West of Dead is expected on Switch via the eShop.
