Fans of classic westerns and retro shooters have a new reason to saddle up, as Nightdive Studios has officially announced Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster. This updated version of the beloved 1997 LucasArts western shooter is set to launch on November 20 across all major platforms. The game will be available for purchase on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, as well as on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.

A Tale of Vengeance in the Wild West

The remastered experience plunges players back into the heart of the Wild West as James Anderson, a retired sheriff and skilled marksman. After criminals brutally murder his wife and abduct his daughter, Anderson embarks on a dark path of vengeance. As stated in the game's Steam description: “When outlaws killed your wife and took your daughter, they took everything that was precious to you. Your heart hungers for blood and sweet revenge. Now, death will seem like heaven to them.”

Players will navigate a gripping narrative filled with greed, corruption, and intense gunfights against a rogues' gallery of bandits.
