Utvikleren Spellbound har nettopp annonsert Desperados 2 med undertittelen Cooper's Revenge og i den sammenhengen har de sendt oss noen smekre screens fra dette kommende strategiske spaghetti/western-spillet. Tidligere har utvikleren spillene Chicago 1930 og Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood på sin merittliste hvor begge spillene fikk litt lunkne kritikker fra en samlet spillpresse verden over. Desperados 2 slippes eksklusivt til PC i slutten av året.
Hva kan vi så forvente oss av denne tittelen, jo se bare her;
Desperados 2 is the sequel of the successful wild west title "Desperados - Wanted Dead or Alive".
