Not only will Blue Manchu and Modus Games be bringing their first-person shooter/strategy combo to the PC, but one of the target platforms is still a little off the beaten path.

From the veteran team behind Void Bastards and Card Hunter, Wild Bastards has you traveling from planet to planet recruiting, managing, and shooting with a team of 13 outlaws, each with their own weapon, special power, and growth tree. On the planets, you’ll fight for loot and start showdowns that then play out in intense, bite-sized shootouts. The Wild Bastards were the deadliest gang in the galaxy until a posse led by Puritan magnate Jebediah Chaste took out one outlaw after another. Faced with their own mortality, the two remaining members have teamed up with the Drifter, a mysterious sentient spaceship, to find and resurrect the dead gang members as they flee to the mythical Homestead.

Prove you’re the ultimate gunslinger by blasting your way through an array of enemies in bullet-ridden shootouts. Use your wits to overcome cunning enemies that use cover, flank you, and employ a variety of special moves from teleportation to poisonous quills. Build a gang of 13 outlaws, each with their own unique weapon, stunt, personality, relationships, and ability tree. The gang knows each other well, but that doesn’t mean they like each other. It’s up to you to manage their dynamic relationships, but good luck getting feuding outlaws to ride together.

Gather resources to heal injured gang members, level up characters, improve relationships, and more. Evaluate each planet’s terrain, enemies, and characteristics before choosing which gang members to land there. Collect items, level up, and use special locations carefully to tilt the odds in your favor! Explore procedurally generated galactic sectors and planets with varying parameters such as gravity, terrain, weather, and more. After completing the main campaign, a challenge mode is unlocked, offering a series of challenge sectors with increasingly difficult levels and mutators to customize the experience.

Wild Bastards is not only coming to PC (Steam) this year, but also to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch. The Switch seems to be a small exception.
