A western-themed multiplayer game "Wild West Online" entered early access earlier on Nov. 15. The game is aiming for a full release towards the end of 2017.

"Wild West Online" while new, already boasts around a 100 or so quests for those who purchase the early access version. According to video game news site, PC Gamer, that's not the only thing the early access version has in store for eager would-be cowboys and cowgirls. Aside from quest variety, "Wild West Online" will be offering an assortment of weapons to choose from, animals to hunt, horses to ride, enemies to defeat, and wonderful rewards to earn.
The early access version will also be giving excited players a taste of the game's player versus player (PVP) system. Players will be able to pit themselves against friends and other players as they go toe-to-toe in heated competitions of skill and strength. Two other events known as Golden Road and Artifact Hunt will also be available for players to test, however, not much information has been given on these game modes, so excited players will have to find out for themselves in game.

There's the pioneer edition for €49.99. It comes with extra goodies and treasury notes.
