Magic: The Gathering's new set, Outlaws of Thunder Junction, introduces a Wild West theme with new mechanics and familiar characters. Three exclusive cards have been revealed, showcasing the new Spree mechanic and the Outlaw and Crime mechanics. "Caught in the Crossfire" offers players choices in gameplay, "Lassoed by the Law" exiles nonland permanents and gains a body on the board, and "Fleeting Reflection" allows players to commit crimes and fizzle out opponents' abilities.
The Neo Frontier skin bundle for Valorant will give the game a wild west theme, complete with a reactive gun buddy and custom animations. The bundle includes skins for the Sheriff, Marshal, Phantom, Odin, and melee (axe), with purple, white/blue, and orange/blue variants. The skins' audio and visual elements incorporate both old-west and sci-fi sounds, and the gun buddy updates to show the top fragger's icon in the wanted poster. The bundle will be released on June 27 with Episode 7 Act 1.
The developers of Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) have announced their next project, Cowboys and Rustlers, a Wild West-set parody game that promises a unique friendship between a man and a horse. The game will use GTA2's top-down perspective and allow players to rob banks, cheat in poker, race with stagecoaches, and catch anyone with a lasso. The game will also feature anachronistic pop culture references. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.
