Publisher Klabater announced on March 20, 2026, that the supernatural turn-based strategy sequel Hard West II is officially coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Developed by Ice Code Games in cooperation with Good Shepherd Entertainment, the title brings its unique blend of Wild West gunfighting and occult themes to modern consoles.
The game originally debuted for PC via Steam and GOG on August 4, 2022, meaning console players have waited nearly four years for this port..
Players take on the role of Gin Carter, a notorious outlaw who leads a posse of gunslingers and supernatural beings to rob a legendary Ghost Train.

Gameplay centers on tactical turn-based combat where players can utilize the Bravado mechanic to replenish action points after successful kills.
Strategic depth is added through a poker-based upgrade system where mysterious playing cards are used to build hands that enhance the posse’s abilities.
While a specific release date for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles has not been set, the publishers have confirmed the title is coming soon.
The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing the high-stakes shootouts and eerie environments that define the Hard West universe.
