Weird West — a gun-slinging action RPG from the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey — released in March 2022 on Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One before heading to next-gen consoles earlier this month, and publisher Devolver Digital has today announced that the game will be shooting its way over to Switch too.
This reveal is thanks to a surprise Amazon listing that appeared earlier on today, which showed the game's Switch box alongside a 22nd September release date. Shocked by the discovery of this before an official announcement, Gematsu reached out to the publishers on Twitter for some confirmation, which was met with the following response:
As the above tweet makes clear, the listing's September release date is by no means set in stone for the time being, but we do know that the game will definitely be coming to Switch all the same.
Weird West is a cowboy RPG developed by WolfEye Studios that sees you make your way through a supernatural take on the Wild West. There are guns to be slingin', bounties to be collectin' and puzzles to be solvin' as you travel through the barren landscape and influence the story based on the decisions that you make along the way.
We have added the game's original trailer below for a full refresher while we await more details from Devolver over the coming months.

I'm going to have Shill Up influence my decision and give this a pass.
Very cool. I liked what I played of it on Game Pass.
Love wierd west stuff. Had my eye on this one, so I'm glad to see it coming to the Switch.
I've been eyeing it on other systems since release and always thought it strange there wasn't a Switch version, so this is cool since I haven't yet played it on other systems. I might just wait.
Looks very interesting from the trailer
I need this once I'm finished with Tears of The Kingdom
We need a gamepass equivalent on Switch to play games like this.
I'm sick of Nintendo being super tight and charging us for games we have all played multiple times, when there is a massive Switch back catalogue that could be included on the NSO sub.
This is great news. Dishonored and Prey are two of my favorite games ever and I’ve been excited to play this. I hope they do a good job with the Switch port.
I was hoping this would come to Switch. Really dig the supernatural wild west aesthetic.
Hopefully it's not a mess like Redfall was.
Got this through Game Pass and like all other Devolver stuff it’s solid. Was gonna buy it on Xbox, but now I’ll wait till it comes on Switch! Thanks again Devolver, you guys rock!
I was hoping it would make it's way to Switch. I've been wanting to play this one for years!! Day one purchase for me.
I finishes it on Gamepass, it's awesome but a little bare at times.
Looks interesting! Will keep an eye on it 👀
@JimNorman The retail physical release appears to have been cancelled. At least in Murica, GameStop and Best Buy preorders are being cancelled.
