El Paso, Elsewhere has its sights set on another platform in the not-so-distant future. The next stop for the neo-noir shooter from developer Strange Scaffold is PlayStation 5, which will welcome James Savage with open arms, and most likely in slow motion, sometime this fall.
In addition to a digital launch, physical plans are in store for the PS5 version of El Paso, Elsewhere. The retail release from Nighthawk Interactive will pack the game with a poster and a download code that grants access to a digital version of the original soundtrack. Check out a trailer for the physical version while we wait for a specific date.
El Paso, Elsewhere has been available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S since September 26, 2023. The game puts players in the dual-wielding shoes of James Savage, a vampire hunter who has to battle supernatural enemies and the ever-present skeletons in his own closet. It’s got a solid throwback aesthetic that further connects it to its key inspirations, namely the Max Payne series.
The gunplay in El Paso, Elsewhere isn’t going to blow everyone away, but its story is something that deserves to be experienced. It’s nice that more will be able to do so once Strange Scaffold’s dark rumination launches on Sony’s console later this year. Beyond that, we still have that film adaptation— which is set to have LaKeith Stanfield in the role of James Savage— to look forward to at some point.
