- Desperados Turns 20 Years Old, gets Video-Special and Franchise Sale - 20 April 2021
Howdy Birthday: Desperados Turns 20 Years Old, gets Video-Special and Franchise Sale Vienna, Austria / Munich, Germany, April 20th, 2021: 20 years ago, on April 20th, 2001 Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive was released by developer Spellbound Entertainment, known today as Black Forest Games. Fast forward to present day, and the award-winning and critically acclaimed Desperados III (now developed by Mimimi Games) was honored in the past week with the "Best German Game" award at the German Game Awards 2021. To celebrate the 20 year anniversary, we've created a special documentary, highlighting how Desperados came to be. This includes insights into why it wasn't called Death Valley, why a confederate General, raising zombie soldiers to continue the American Civil War didn't play a role, and why Jon Bon Jovi wasn't part of the first trailer. Check out the special here: https://youtu.be/XFYdi…

Red Dead Redemption 2 was made by five million people working nine day weeks , but does it have a duck that collects your discarded throwing knives? Actually, I don t know, as it s not on PC.

It s one of eight delightful cowboy em ups that you could be playing while Rockstar pretends its latest won’t eventually come to PC. And the RPS Video Department has gathered them in one handy video.

Desperaun... Desperados... Desperatres! THQ Nordic & Mimimi announce Desperados III Vienna, Austria/ Munich, Germany, August 21st, 2018: The Wild West. A place where the law is made by those with a gun in their hands, and is enforced by the henchmen at their command.

- Desperados III coming from Shadow Tactics devs in 2019 - 21 August 2018
After a decade face-down in a dusty digital gulch with the buzzards fighting the lizards for its gizzards, the Desperados series will return to life next year. Publishers THQ Nordic today announced Desperados III, resuming the real-time tactical action, and excitingly it’s being made by Mimimi. They’re the studio who made 2016’s Desperados/Commandos homage Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shotgun , which was great – a fine match. Here, have a look at Desperados III in this preview video from our Matthew. (more…)
- Kalypso nab Commandos rights, promises new games - 12 July 2018
Everything old is new again, and everything once overlooked by publishers is cool once more. Today, publisher Kalypso Media ( Sudden Strike , Tropico , Dungeons et al) went and bagged themselves the rights to all of Pyro Studios’s old games, which means the entire Commandos series of stealthy tactical puzzlers. Better still, the publisher has already confirmed that new games in the series are on the way, as well as “an extensive adaptation” of the older games to current systems, which sounds like remasters to me.

- Desperados: Wanted Dead Or Alive updated after 17 years to work on modern Windows - 10 July 2018
Hot diggity dawg! After years crawling the digital desert lower than a lizard, real-time tactical stealth murderer Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive now plays nicely on modern systems. Publishers THQ Nordic last week released an update making the 2001 game support modern Windows along with Mac and Linux, to fix the problem of it crashing like a horse full of rotgut. Desperados is a tip-top tactics ’em up about a rootin’ tootin’ squad of mercenaries combining their powers of distraction, evasion, exsanguination, and explosion on missions in the Wild West, similar to the Commandos games, and well worth a look – especially as it’s on sale now too.
