X019: Welcome to Purgatory – Join the West of Dead Open Beta Now

We were at X019 last week admiring all the wicked titles on display, but also feeling pretty ecstatic that people were playing our game, West of Dead, too. We’re even more excited to share that anyone can play it now, as we’ve got the West of Dead open beta running through November 25 on Xbox One.

You are plunged into an inferno of gun smoke and darkness in the twin-stick cover shooter West of Dead. The game takes place in Purgatory, a place of sin and damnation, wendigos and witches. The Wild West has never been this dark.

Ron Perlman (yes, the Ron
Perlman!) stars as the voice of the main protagonist William Mason, a dead man
awakened with only the memory of a figure in black. His existence sets into
motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences. No one said dying
would be easy.

Thrown into the unknown
procedurally generated hunting grounds of Purgatory, your skills will be put to
the test as you shoot and dodge your way through the grime and grit of the
underworld. Find out if you have what it takes to get through Purgatory with
your soul intact.

We feel that West of Dead
is finally ready to be dragged out from the shadows and put into your hands. We
are very excited to let you get ahold of the game, and we can’t wait to see
what you can show us.

That’s why we hope you will join us in the beta! As cheesy as it sounds, your feedback will make this the game you want it to be. The West of Dead Open Beta is live from now through November 25 and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store via your console or right here.

The battle for your soul will take place on Xbox One and will be available with Xbox Game Pass when West of Dead launches in 2020.

Are you ready to raise hell?
