The western online game Wild West Online could be described as a flop. Hardly any players and plenty of criticism have now led the developers to want to take a new direction for the game.
Redirection to PvP shooter
Wild West Online is being redirected. On average, 19 players active simultaneously according to Steamcharts cannot sustain an online game. Additionally, with negative reviews and criticism flooding in, the development studio must take action. And that’s what DJ2 Entertainment and WWO Partners Ltd. are doing – Wild West Online is getting a “soft relaunch”.
- Wild West Online is to develop more into a faction-based online shooter
- The PvP battles between bandits and sheriffs will be at the forefront
- New merchants are to offer a greater variety of items. You will also need to get along with merchants to secure better deals
- The area will be expanded in the north of the map
- Quests will be reduced
- Daily and weekly challenges will be introduced
- In relic hunts, you must bring the found item to totems to receive an artifact
Female characters are not a priority. Currently, the developers are also working on finally introducing playable female characters. However, the team states that this feature is not a priority at the moment and is rather seen as a “cosmetic feature”.
Relaunch is intended to attract new players. There is no date yet for the “soft relaunch” of Wild West Online. However, it is expected to happen later this summer. The development team hopes to attract new players to the online game.
