Bang-On Balls: Chronicles getting “Wild West” update on Nintendo Switch next week

It’s been a long time coming, but the Nintendo Switch version of Bang-On Balls: Chronicles will finally receive the “Wild West” update next week. The patch goes live on January 17, 2025.

This update previously made it to the PC version last May. Players will be able to explore five new regions, ranging from the dusty saloons to the treacherous oil fields. Also included are tons of new items to collect, including classic revolvers and shotguns, sneaky bows and arrows, and even a lasso.

Here’s some additional information:

The new Wild West Map is composed of five new regions – Mexico, Saloon City, Oil Fields, Beaver Town and Gold Mines – each with new sub-regions to explore. Make your way across this lawless country by riding on horseback, rail carts, or by carrying out a good ol’ fashioned train robbery. There’s even canoes to cross the rivers cutting through these arid badlands. Enjoy over 80 new items to collect and customize your character with, including a slew of new weapons such as a lasso, revolver and shotgun, bow & arrows, a tomahawk, and TNT crates for when you need a little extra firepower. Of course, these wastelands come with all new hazards including four new bosses and four new mini-bosses. Have you got what it takes to master this throwback to old Hollywood westerns?
