The Sun Has Set on the Wild West… and Something Darker Awaits
Saddle up, gunslingers. After wowing PC players and earning “Very Positive” acclaim on Steam, the occult tactical masterpiece Hard West 2 is officially galloping onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — available right now from developer Ice Code Games and publishers Good Shepherd Entertainment & Klabater.
Grab your revolver. Check your silver. And ride toward the sun that long ago set over a Wild West where bullets aren’t the only thing that goes bump in the night.
What Is Hard West 2?
It’s a tactical turn-based strategy game set in a twisted vision of the American frontier — a Weird West where dusty trails meet dark magic, and outlaws trade lead with things that should not exist. You step into the boots of Gin Carter, a legendary outlaw with one last score: rob the mysterious, unstoppable Ghost Train. But this heist doesn’t go as planned — and before long, you’re in a race to reclaim what was stolen from you: your very soul.
“Revolver bullets collide with dark magic drawn straight from forgotten tales.” — Klabater, Publisher

Why You Should Pull On Your Cowboy Boots
Most strategy games put you in command of armies or empires. Hard West 2 gives you a handful of desperate outlaws, a few bullets, and a whole lot of trouble. It’s tight, tense tactical combat where positioning and smart card combos beat raw numbers — and where every character feels like someone you’d actually want to ride (or die) with.
It’s also one of the most striking settings in gaming: a frontier where saloon doors swing open to reveal shadowy pacts, where curses cling to gold, and where the law isn’t the scariest thing riding the trail after dark.
All Aboard the Ghost Train
The frontier is waiting. The Ghost Train is rolling. And your soul is the fare. Whether you’re returning for another run or saddling up for the very first time — the dark Wild West is calling your name.
Pick up Hard West 2 today on PlayStation Store or Xbox Store — the invasion of the Weird West has begun.
