Red Dead Redemption meets Stardew Valley in new Nintendo Switch game

The wild, wild west ofRed Dead Redemptionmeets the calm, civilised non-descript life ofStardew Valley, in a new “Cozy Cowboy Adventure Life Sim” on theNintendo Switch.

Cattle Countryis the type of game I never knew I wanted to play until I saw that it exists. It’s a farming sim, where you’ll spend your days wrangling cows and planting crops, like any otherHarvest Moon-esque title.

Except… you can also shoot and murder people inCattle Country. Alright man, say less. I’m in.

According to developers Castle Pixel LLC,Cattle Countryhas all the familiar trappings of a farming sim.

The “slice-of-life” adventure will let you do all the stuff you’d expect, like “mining, fishing, crafting, and farming – along with deep-rooted Wild West Quests delivering stories of romance, cattle drives, bandits, and robberies.”

Oh, hold up - did that quote just say you can rob people? Early 2025 Game of the Year contender right here folks.

There’s no exact release date in sight forCattle Country, although the developers have stated that they’re targeting an “early 2025” date.

Whenever it does finally come out, you’ll be able to get it on PC,PlayStation 5and Nintendo Switch. Apologies in advance to my rootin’ tootin’ Xbox friends.

If you really, really can’t wait though, then I do have some great news for you.

The demo forCattle Countryjust went live on Steam, and it’s so fresh that as of writing this sentence there are currently zero reviews for it.
