Together with Mimimi Games, we proudly present: The Smallest Collector's Edition in the Whole Wild West. This strictly limited edition is not for sale and only a few have been produced.

The special edition contains 6 unique miniature figurines, an itsy bitsy artbook, the official soundtrack on a teeny tiny USB-Stick in the shape of a bullet, a John-Cooper-Stamp, and a mini wanted poster with a Steam-key on it.

The whole Collector's Edition is only 3.4 x 2.3 x 2.1 inches, including 6 Figurines from Desperados 3 (5 Heroes & 1 Villain)

There is just one way to get one for yourself: Win the upcoming Speedrun Challenge!

To participate, finish the level Eagle Falls as quickly as possible, submit a video and - most importantly - follow these updated rules: http://n.thq.com/376l30r5aV7

It's been three months. Don't tell me you're getting nostalgic already?

Money for the Vultures - Part 1 is coming September 2nd.

DLC is out now:






Also free update to the base game:

The Baron dares you to make one last trip to Devil's Canyon to ask yourself: "What if?". Take control of an unleashed young Cooper, who has finally mastered his knife-throwing skills, and fight your way through Devil's Canyon to face your nemesis, Frank, for the final time. One good throw is all it takes.

Also also it gets Mac and Linux support.

Is the DLC free for those that preordered or was that the lame Baron’s Challenges?

The Season Pass content is extra.

Pretty sure the pre-order included the season pass.

 

[DemonKing]

I preordered and it seems I have to pay if I want the DLC - lame.

Probably just a second Robin Hood game and since Spellbound belongs to THQ Nordic it sounds realistic.

They'd ruin it. The original Robin Hood game had charm by the truckload, and seeing what they've done with Desperados the result would be uninspiring at best.

You preordered the non-deluxe edition and that's exactly what you got. The deluxe edition was right there, clearly labeled "includes Season Pass" and you chose not to get it. Now you're blaming them for giving you what you paid for. Very lame.

Is that actually a new map?

 

[fantadomat]

it is shame that they don't improve and the games end up being repetitive and boring.

This might be some dumb nostalgia fueled knee jerk reaction but Desperados 3 doesn't have the same... charm? Not that 2 and Helldorado weren't devoid of it either.

I was gonna buy this on consoles but my PS4 went bust, I'm building a pee cee and I'll try it once I get all parts assembled.

Of course it's not the same. You can't go home again. But what Mimimi has done here is certainly good and has plenty of character. To be completely honest, I think the writing, voice acting, and direction here are by and large better than the original.

I still prefer the original, overall it looks less... streamlined than Desperados 3? But Mimimi certainly did a good job , even though I'd have prefered a new setting rather than the Wild West.

In my mind: Desperados 1 > Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun > Desperados 3 but obvisouly, there is a lot of nostalgia google effect on D1.

 

[Zombra]

To me there's no point in preferring one over the other. All three are great games and very worth playing.

Personally, I've played the original Desperados so many times that I can't really play it any more. It's too easy to break (much easier than the Mimimi successors) and I know it too well. But I'll always love it and will never forget it.

'cept Shadow Tactics is much better than Desperados 3
I'm not sure I would have gone on to try Shadow Tactics if I had played Desperados 3 first

 

[Farewell into the night]

I agree, Shadow Tactics is pretty cool.

Ooh, Sanchez' fort? Okay, wow, yeah.

 

[Zombra]

J_C, if you don't recognize Sanchez' fortress, you didn't play the original Desperados.

Oh I recognized it. I just felt a flat "meh" from your response, thus I rated it "what"? I mean, what is the problem with this, it is great. But maybe I misunderstood your post.

Ooh, Sanchez' fort? Okay, wow, yeah.

I leave a mass grave at that main door everytime I play. Getting rid of all them reinforcements with just one well placed snake is priceless.

 

[Zombra]

Maybe I misunderstood your post.

You did. My response was not sarcastic. It was sheer awe at the idea of playing this level again in 3D with Mimimi mechanics.
