Howdy Gunslingers,
Today is the day folks, after months of development we are ready to share the final version of Blood West with you and the rest of the world. This has been a hell of a journey and we wouldn't have made it without your support during the Early Access. Your feedback and ideas kept our creative cogs running and made Chapter 3 and the final version of Blood West what it is today.
With all that out of the way, let's celebrate the launch not only with a 30% discount, but also with a brand new trailer!

Even though this is the end of Early access, it is not the end of our support for Blood West. We have had a blast working on the title and you can expect more to come in the not so distant future. However, that is a story for another time. Now it’s time to sling lead and throw witty one-liners - and we have both in ample supply.

See you in the Barren Lands,
PS. Known issue:
If you haven't played Blood West for a while, you'll be returning to find the skill system re-designed. Your character's progress has been reset, and you should have all the skill points returned to you to distribute in the new skill tree. In some RARE CASES you will NOT GET your skill points back. If this affects you, please contact us at bugs@hyperstrange.com, and provide your safe file so we can fix it. A hotfix that will eliminate this issue entirely is already underway. We're sorry for the inconvenience, if you are one of the [strike]cursed[/strike] unlucky few.
