Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood Details



£39.99

Ubisoft has revealed the first details of its Wild West shooter prequel, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.

The game, set prior to the events of 2007’s Call of Juarez, will see the player take control of both of the infamous McCall brothers, Thomas and Ray. Each has their own combat style (close or long range), specific special abilities and an arsenal of weaponry at their disposal.

Set during a pivotal point in American history, Bound in Blood will feature a range of locales, from Civil War-ravaged Georgia to Aztec ruins in Mexico. On their journey, Ray and Thomas will face-off against an Apache Chief, a Mexican bandit and a corrupt Colonel in a tale of greed and lawlessness.

Multiplayer modes will once again be present and have apparently been developed “in unison” with the single player game, which hopefully means it’ll be a little sharper than Techland’s first Juarez MP effort. Players can choose from gunslingers, bandits and marshals and square off in a number of deathmatch and team-based objective modes. A new feature is the Bounty System, which assigns a bounty price to each player; the better you do, the higher your bounty becomes meaning you'll become a target for players seeking a big reward.

Ubisoft has also released some screens and a trailer for the game, which can be found below.
