LONDON (Oct. 24, 2025) – Developer Evil Raptor (Pumpkin Jack, Akimbot) and publisher Fireshine Games (Core Keeper, Denshattack!) today announced a brand-new public playtest for Far Far West, the upcoming cowboy co-op shooter coming to PC that pits you against hordes of undead forces with one mission: eliminate all robot cowboys: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3124540/Far_Far_West/

The news was revealed alongside a trailer showcasing the minecart riding, undead slaying, terrifyingly large boss-encountering robotic cowboy action you’re in for.

This playtest will give you a first look at the nonstop action Far Far West offers. Suit up, lasso up to three friends (or brave the west solo) and take on just a slice of the undead nightmares you’ll be facing off against. Are your gunslinging skills polished enough to take down an absolutely massive, unhinged skeletal pterodactyl singularly focused on making sure you don’t live to see another day? Or how about taking the steam out of a hulking train that’s eager to send you on a detour to an early grave? Far Far West’s foes offer thrilling challenges that are perfect for recalling the next time you’re at the saloon.

Far Far West dares you to take on dangerous contracts from your western town’s sheriff. Get in, take down your powerful, often reanimated enemies, collect the loot and make it to the train headed home to get out of there alive. With a host of different enemies, weapons and upgrade paths, no two runs are ever the same. 

Whether you’re taking on outrageous enemies with a revolver or magical fireballs, you’ll have to adapt to whatever comes at you on the fly. In between runs you can upgrade your guns, spells and abilities in town to create the robotic cowboy bounty hunter of your dreams. And of course, own the west in style with a host of unlockable skins for both your horse and yourself. 

Far Far West is launching on Steam soon.
