The “Weird West” is about to get a whole lot wider. Following its successful stint on PC, Klabater, Good Shepherd Entertainment, and Ice Code Games have officially announced that the supernatural turn-based strategy hit Hard West 2 is finally making the jump to current-gen consoles.
If you’ve been waiting to hunt down the Devil himself from the comfort of your sofa, your time is coming.
A Heist Beyond the Grave
For the uninitiated, Hard West 2 isn’t your typical tumbleweed-and-ten-gallon-hat affair. You step into the dusty boots of Gin Carter, a notorious outlaw who bites off more than he can chew when he attempts to rob a legendary “Ghost Train.”
As it turns out, the train isn’t carrying gold—it’s commanded by the Devil, and he’s more interested in your soul than your bounty. What follows is a desperate journey across a frozen, demon-infested frontier where occult magic and six-shooters are the only law.
Key Gameplay Features:
The Bravado System: Unlike traditional cover-based tactics games that reward caution, Hard West 2 rewards aggression. Scoring a kill completely refills your Action Points (AP), allowing you to chain together “Bravado” streaks that can clear an entire room in a single turn.
A Supernatural Posse: You’ll lead a crew of outlaws, witches, and mysterious beings. The way you treat them matters—the “Unnatural Leader” mechanic means your choices impact loyalty and unlock new skills.
Poker Hand Upgrades: Character progression is tied to a unique card-based system. By collecting mysterious playing cards and building high-value poker hands, you can radically alter your posse’s stats and abilities.
Optimised for the New Generation
While the PC version originally debuted in 2022, this console release isn’t just a simple port. The announcement highlights that the game will be optimised for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, targeting:
4K Ultra HD resolution.
60 FPS+ performance for smooth, tactical execution.
DualSense and Controller Integration to bring the grit of the frontier to your fingertips.
“The good, the bad and the supernatural—Hard West 2 is coming to consoles to bring its unique blend of Wild West gunfighting and occult themes to a whole new audience.” — Official Announcement, March 20, 2026.
When Can You Play?
While a concrete release date hasn’t been pinned down yet, the publishers have confirmed the game is “coming soon.” If you’re eager to get your hands on it, digital storefront pages are already live for wishlisting on both the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store.
This partnership between Klabater (known for their recent console port of Showgunners) and Good Shepherd suggests a polished, high-quality transition for one of the most stylish strategy games of the decade.
