Following the appalling Call of Juarez: The Cartel and the huge success of Wild West themed Red, Dead Remption, Techland and Ubisoft have decided to take Call of Juarez back to the West with Call of Juarez Gunslinger, which should hit Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC in early 2013.

This is according to Joystiq. Eurogamer apparently also wanted to run a story, but that's been pulled right now. There is, however, a Western video in sepia that shows nothing about the game but will apparently convince you to part with your cash. You can see that below.

Joystiq states, "An early build of Call of Juarez Gunslinger gave us a good grasp of Techland's approach, which seems cognizant of what Bound in Blood (widely considered the best game in the series) got right. Shooting is stylish, frantic, and constantly rewarded by spurts of blood and points. These numerical rewards are funneled into a set of skill upgrades, which improve your gun-twirling prowess in diverse ways. Acquire the right abilities and you'll extend your bullet-time bravado, decrease your reloading times and make perfect headshots mid-air."
