Bullets, witchcraft and the Ghost Train

You play as Gin Carter, a legendary outlaw assembling a posse to rob the mysterious Ghost Train — only to discover the real prize is reclaiming your own soul. The campaign takes you across a dark, occult vision of the Wild West, from frontier towns to snow-covered vistas, with duels, train robberies and horseback chases along the way.

Combat is turn-based and tactical. You command a squad of gunslingers with unique abilities built from mysterious card combinations, then push the Bravado mechanic for extra action points after kills so you can chain spectacular sequences. Equip your posse with better guns, explosives and trinkets, and weigh loyalty choices that unlock new skills — or test your companions’ commitment if you choose poorly.

Dynamically shifting shootouts keep the focus on planning rather than button-mashing, whether you are holding up a train or trading lead and witchcraft in a moving fight.

When can I play it?

Hard West 2 launches on Xbox Series X|S on 10 November 2026, according to the Xbox Store and the publishers’ announcement. You can wishlist it on the Xbox Store now. We’ll update this when a price lands.
