After the release of Evil West last year, Flying Wild Hog studio has been showered with praises for the title. Evil West was lauded for its intense gameplay and exciting combat mechanics. The studio recently posted a job listing for several positions, indicating at the development of a new game. Based on their job posting, Flying Wild Hog seems to be looking for a new team to work on a new game to be created using Unreal Engine 5.
This is exciting news for the fans of Evil West, as the developer has never worked with Unreal Engine 5 before. Even their last release, the popular Evil West, was created using Unreal Engine 4. Gamers are surely in for a treat, considering the Polish studio’s acclaimed titles, including the Shadow Warrior series, which was engaging and extremely fun to play. Unleashing the power of Unreal Engine 5 would definitely result in a masterstroke of an action game by the developer, if things go right.
The Evil West developer explained in the job listing that they are looking for people who can take up the creation of stunning and high-quality visuals for their upcoming fast-paced, third-person action game. Reputed for their top-notch, fast-paced action games, Flying Wild Hog has usually dabbled in first-person action games, such as their widely popular Shadow Warrior series.
The developer recently made the switch to a third-person perspective in the Evil West game, which also received excellent reviews and a massive fan following. This change allowed them to incorporate various elements exclusive to third-person games, such as enhanced third-person shooting as well as graphically breathtaking melee combat effects. Banking on this proven formula, it seems that the Evil West developer is dedicated to following it through.
As their recent entree, Evil West, released in November 2022, and the fact that they are still looking for new personnel to integrate Unreal Engine 5 in the new title, it’s safe to say that we won’t see this new game at least for a couple of years.
