Techland: Call of Juarez Gunslinger is Not an Experiment

Rejoice! A new Call of Juarez game is coming, and this one is returning to its Wild West roots! But, Gunslinger is heading for a release on Xbox Live Arcade rather than a full disc release. Why? It's part of a "new direction" for the series, according to Techland's brand manager Błażej Krakowiak. Just don't call it an "experiment".

"Experiment is something that you may think may fail," Krakowiak told SPOnG today at Ubisoft's Digital Days conference. "And we don’t think that Call of Juarez: Gunslinger has a bad future. We really think this is the best game in the series to date.

"In our view, we instead see this as a new experience for the players," Krakowiak added, "but we are a very experienced studio and this is a series with legacy so... this is maybe not an experiment, just a new direction."

Gunslinger was announced this morning by Ubisoft as part of a fresh digital gaming strategy. Learn more about it - and watch a video of it - right here.
