Yesterday a leaked image started circulating on a Grand Theft Auto forum showing a cowboy that looked an awful lot like John Marston from Red Dead Redemption. Unlike what many assumed, this wasn't Red Dead Redemption 2, but it could be a PC gamer's best chance to eke out a living on the frontier. Wild West Online is an open-world PvP MMO that wears its inspirations on its dusty, sun-bleached sleeves. Players will form gangs to either break or defend the law, roam the hinterlands, or settle in for a game of cards at the local saloon. In PC Gamer's exclusive reveal, I sat down with Stephan Bugaj creative vice president of publisher DJ2, to find out more.

I'm up for this!

Triggerhappytel · May 11, 2017

Better hurry and release it then before RDR2 and RDR Online comes out...

Masagiwa · May 11, 2017

Oh wow, there u go

KINGofCRA5H · May 11, 2017

One stretch goal that has me scratching my head is the first one, where if DJ2 raises $400,000 they'll include women as playable characters.

....oh

Masterspeed · May 11, 2017

I knew it was too good to be true, because everyones "validation" was a dude with his legs crossed...

Going to have some sweet crow tonight. #teamreal

TheMagician · May 11, 2017

LMAO

Some were acting like it was the best graphics they'd ever seen.

Eggbok · May 11, 2017

I always read RDR2 as R2D2 first lol.

Yoshichan · May 11, 2017

Welp.

Salz01 · May 11, 2017

Is DJ2 secretly Ubisoft?

mgarnica89 · May 11, 2017

The best advertising for your Wild West game is people thinking its from a another far more highly anticipated Wild West game. Its brilliant marketing. Genius. I bet the developers were loving this.

ThirstiestGamer 2.0 · May 11, 2017

Umm...absolutely! I'd be down for this!

And some thought it was faked lol

TheBowen · May 11, 2017

MMO Wild West ?

Actually sounds pretty interesting. Didn't think it was red dead though, the art style was a tad off

JigglesBunny · May 11, 2017

KINGofCRA5H said:
....oh

The rollercoaster this has been for me.

"Oh cool! RDR2!"
"Might be fake. Still looks great though, I wonder what it is?"
"A Wild West MMO? Consider me sold!"
"PvP. Uh, it could be entertaining though?"
"Oh. F2P... well maybe I'll give it a shake..."
"Women as a stretch goal. Piss on ya."

funkystudent · May 11, 2017

"leaked"

Smart.

dex3108 · May 11, 2017

Steam Early Access launch around RDR2 launch =

Leafhopper · May 11, 2017

This game sounds more interesting than RDR2 for me.

That stretch goal though lol but, stuff costs stuff so fair enough.

Tecnniqe · May 11, 2017

KINGofCRA5H said:
....oh

Looking at how much fighting game characters cost I assume a open game like this is in the same ballpark cost wise.

GlamFM · May 11, 2017

Told you

Very good play. Can now position themselves as Red Dead, but on PC

Hesh · May 11, 2017

This is the best possible outcome.

N7.Angel · May 11, 2017

Wait a second, people actually think it could be real? wtf ?

Toparaman · May 11, 2017

Lmao at the few people in the previous thread thinking the graphics looked incredible.

RDR2 will definitely be coming out on PC.......eventually.

I hadn't heard of this game until today. Regardless, I'm super skeptical of any MMO release but I know the name now and am at least slightly interested enough to see how it progresses. I think it's pretty effective.

luulubuu · May 11, 2017

PVP focused MMO? No, thanks. But good luck with the campaign

where if DJ2 raises $400,000 they'll include women as playable characters.

Well they do

Wagram · May 11, 2017

Not going to lie. I thought that screenshot was pretty lacking graphically for Red Dead Redemption so this is good news.

kAmui- · May 11, 2017

But the leg pose!

crazysapertonight · May 11, 2017

Looks cool

ThatStupidLion · May 11, 2017

ahhhhhh teamFake justified.

suck it teamReal.

crazysapertonight said:

Good thing they are not coming to PC then.

Indeed, I doubt it was accidental, still, pretty smart.

After how GTAV performed on PC? I'm willing to bet it's coming out on pc also.

johancruijff · May 11, 2017

imagine how much paper these guys can make if RDR2 for PC has a postponed released

Rygar 8 Bit · May 11, 2017

explained why it didnt look like any game that was currently out

I'm googling and can't find anything about it, honestly, though PC Gamer says the company is "newly formed".

....oh

Women cost double the money to include in games as men...

dreamfall · May 11, 2017

Well then.

That much was expected.

bounchfx · May 11, 2017

im down

_woLf · May 11, 2017

Aside from the weird women stretch goal, I actually think this looks really cool.

The Albatross · May 11, 2017

Makes sense. Lighting did not look right at all, first thing that stuck out to me.

rashbeep · May 11, 2017

dex3108 said:
Well they do

looks pretty bad when you view the full size image

Alienous · May 11, 2017

That's not bad marketing.

It can be a game other than Farcry and RDR and still look incredible you know.

Tecnniqe · May 11, 2017

Regardless what people think they're right about R* not giving a shit about RDR on PC so might as well make a game for the system in the same vain.

IMPOSSIBLE

Hari Seldon · May 11, 2017

Kickstarting an MMO project that is only asking for 250k sounds like a real bad idea lol. You probably need to add at least 2 zeroes to that if you want to make an MMO.

That doesn't mean it's all of their funding. They have a publisher, DJ2 Entertainment, which also owns equity in the studio.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
