Call of Juarez: The Cartel Announced

Yesterday (February 7th) Ubisoft announced the development of Call of Juarez: The Cartel, the third game in the Call of Juarez series. The game is being developed by Techland and will be available on next-generation consoles and on PC. No news of a specific date just yet, but Ubisoft assure the game will be available in Summer 2011.

Unlike previous games, Call of Juarez: The Cartel will be set in the modern day. Players can expect to embark on a journey that will take them from the heart of modern day Los Angeles, California to Juarez, Mexico. It will certainly bee interesting to see how well th old-day western shooter fairs in a new modern setting.

“Call of Juarez The Cartel is an action-packed shooter game with a strong story, interesting characters and a wide variety of gameplay options” said Caroline Stevens, EMEA Brand Director at Ubisoft. “The game will bring the best elements of the Wild West into modern times with a very gritty and relevant plot.”
