▶

If you have been longing for some more Hard West action, you will be happy to hear that the wait is almost over! Hard West’s new expansion entitled Scars of Freedom will hit Steam next Thursday, on March 3rd and will retail for $2.99. Hard West: Scars of Freedom offers a juicy new scenario with a dedicated story featuring new characters, 7 new tactical missions, a powerful new weapon, a bunch of new mechanics and ramped up challenge! Meet Libertee, an escaped slave-turned-vigilante, and her nemesis - Doctor Gorman, a surgeon with somewhat radical views on the future of medicine. Discover their intertwining stories set against a backdrop of Civil War Texas, where classic western mixes with gothic horror. Apart from a new story inspired by the works of Mary Shelley, the expansion also offers an equally Frankensteinesque new character development system which consists of acquiring body parts, and implanting them on your posse members. Thanks to a new trade mechanic, you will now be able to purchase your upgrades rather than get them randomly, which in turn will allow you to make strategic plans for how you want your posse to develop. It's not all just about this new expansion though, as the main game will also be getting a major update shortly before the Expansion ships next week. This update will correct a number of outstanding issues and will add several new features and options, which will enable you to experience Hard West in new ways. More news will be available soon. In the meantime, please be sure to check out some screenshots from the new instalment in the Hard West universe!!!
