Evil West was originally slated for release in late September, but the developers Flying Wild Hog (Shadow Warrior, Trek To Yomi) have delayed the third-person action game by two months, likely to further refine its development. The publisher released a statement on Twitter:

"We are working our very best to achieve our vision of Evil West, and to meet your expectations. Evil West releases on five platforms, including multiple generations of consoles. Giving our game more polish is crucial to provide our players not only good, but also lasting memories. That's something we've always pursued.

To ensure the game reaches its full potential, we have made the decision to delay the worldwide launch of Evil West to November 22, 2022.

We understand that game delays may be frustrating, but it’s a necessary step to deliver the best experience to everyone,” the statement adds. “Thank you again for your awesome support and dedication. It drives us forward and pushes us to create the weirdest, wildest western ride for you all."

This kind of news remains commonplace in 2022, but at the very least, it will still hit storefronts this calendar year. It's rather surprising the previous gen platforms are still getting it.

Evil West now launches November 22nd 2022 for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
