The release date for Evil West is approaching, and it won’t be long before you’re cleaning up the old west in a lot more supernatural fashion than you’ve (probably) ever done before.
Focus Entertainment describes Evil West as a “third-person action game that puts you in the boots of a vampire hunter [who is] rescuing a Wild West eaten by evil,” which seems like a fascinating take on an old pop-culture favorite.
So, when will Evil West be released, and what else should you know about it? Continue reading to learn all of the critical facts, beginning with the all-important start date.
When will Evil West be released?
The developers at Flying Wild Hog have revealed that the Evil West release date is November 22nd, 2022, so we won’t have to wait long.
The game has already been postponed, but here’s hoping that this release date holds and that we’ll be able to explore this strange region before the end of the year.

To boot, the Evil West pre-order bonus has already been announced. Pre-ordering players will receive the Wild Wild East Pack, which contains a Golden Defender costume for Jesse (the playable character) and numerous Golden Relics weapon skins.
What consoles and platforms support Evil West?
According to the game’s official website, Evil West will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, so you won’t be short of options. However, there is no indication that Evil West will be released on the Nintendo Switch.
We’ve also heard nothing about the game being added to any subscription services, such as Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, so don’t hold your breath.
Gameplay and plot details for Evil West
“A sinister threat ravages the American frontier,” a tempting official description of the Evil West narrative informs us. But where does the player fit in?
“As one of the last operatives in a top-secret vampire-hunting institute, you are the last line of defence between mankind and a deep-seated terror that has suddenly emerged from the shadows,” it says.
According to the plot, your character will “become a Wild West Superhero, destroy the vampire danger, and preserve the United States.” It’s all part of the job.
