Weird West has been delayed from a planned release date of January next yr until March 31. The Devolver Digital-published title is being developed by Arkane Studios co-founder Raphaël Colantonio.

The hybrid action RPG and immersive sim volition be undergoing a two-month delay to iron out some issues arising from the game's overall complication, according to a statement released on Steam. According to the post, Weird West "has the potential to evangelize incredibly unique experiences, but besides comes with a set of variables that can pb to unintended consequences."

This makes sense, as the entire point of immersive sims is to provide the player with a sandbox that can be interacted with, but is hard to predict. The terminate issue can be gameplay or narrative loops that effectively close themselves off in an unsatisfactory manner, so the WolfEye Studios team wants to accept the fourth dimension to ensure this doesn't happen.

Weird West is an isometric action game set in the Wild W, but with a twist of the supernatural and fantastical. Each playthrough of the game will be unique based on the decisions that players make during the diverse quests. Yous can easily make friends or enemies based on how you lot interact with people, so a deadly foe in one playthrough could be a valuable friend in some other.

Weird West volition release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on March 31, 2022.
