Wandering Wizard and New Gen has announced that its multiplayer social deduction game, West Hunt, is launching on Nintendo Switch February 8, 2024.
Following its release on PC last year, the West is about to get Wilder for Nintendo Switch players, who will be able to seamlessly join the action and play alongside Steam users from launch.
West Hunt unfolds in the Old West, where a Sheriff sets out to establish law and order, but cunning outlaws hide in plain sight, causing mayhem. Once players assume their roles, the manhunt begins! Sheriffs and outlaws engage in intense matches, rewarding stealth and keen detective skills.
As an outlaw, players must establish their notoriety by completing criminal missions within a specified timeframe. These tasks include bribing the Barman, poisoning the water supply, stealing, etc. Meanwhile, Sheriffs, in their role, must keep an eye out and observe the villagers' behavior, catching outlaws and establishing law and order. Experience the thrill of strategic gameplay with West Hunt’s new Switch port!
