- Desperados Turns 20 Years Old, gets Video-Special and Franchise Sale - 20 April 2021
Howdy Birthday: Desperados Turns 20 Years Old, gets Video-Special and Franchise Sale Vienna, Austria / Munich, Germany, April 20th, 2021: 20 years ago, on April 20th, 2001 Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive was released by developer Spellbound Entertainment, known today as Black Forest Games. Fast forward to present day, and the award-winning and critically acclaimed Desperados III (now developed by Mimimi Games) was honored in the past week with the "Best German Game" award at the German Game Awards 2021. To celebrate the 20 year anniversary, we've created a special documentary, highlighting how Desperados came to be. This includes insights into why it wasn't called Death Valley, why a confederate General, raising zombie soldiers to continue the American Civil War didn't play a role, and why Jon Bon Jovi wasn't part of the first trailer.

- There's a Desperados 3 demo up on GOG - 27 May 2020
If you've been eyeing the 16th June arrival of Wild West tactical stealth sequel Desperados 3 with mounting anticipation, there's some good news; PC players can get some rootin', tootin', and sneaky shootin' in early courtesy of a new demo - one of several, including a playable look at troubled System Shock reboot, now available on GOG.com. The original Desperados, if you're unfamiliar, released all the way back in 2001, gaining immediate acclaim for its compelling cowboy-themed take on WW2 strategy hit Commandos' squad-based real-time tactical action. Its follow-up, Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge, was less well-received, but hopes are high for this long-awaited third entry (actually a prequel to the original), given that it's being handled by Mimimi Games - the developer behind 2016's hugely enjoyable, and mechanically similar, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.

- Silver and Desperados IP bought by Nordic Games - 24 June 2013
"When will they make a new System Shock?" you ask, sticky little hands tugging at my hem. "I want a new F-Zero . Where's my new No One Lives Forever? What happened to Desperados and Silver ?" I stop you there, because curiously someone's showing interest in those last two. Publisher Nordic Games today announced it has closed a deal with Atari to buy the rights to cowboy tactics 'em up series Desperados and action-RPG Silver. As well as raking in the money from selling the existing games--they're all available on various digital distributors--Nordic says it'll work on "evaluation of sequels & new content". Spellbound's Desperados games were respectable enough real-time tactical affairs set in the wild west, and while they may not be famous that probably meant they weren't too expensive, and the name does still carry a little weight. The first game hit PC in 2001, followed by sequel Coope…
