Paradox Interactive revealed today that the company is set to make an explosive entrance onto consoles with Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West. The team-based third person shooter, which will transport players directly into the heart of the gun-slinging drama and action of the Wild West, is locked and loaded to hit the console market during 2010.

Developed by Fatshark, Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West features intense gunfights in beautifully rendered Western settings. Incorporating the unique Synergy system, which encourages co-operation and team tactics to achieve a maximum gameplay experience and rewards, Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West calls upon players to band together and relive the excitement, danger, and mystery of the Wild West.
"We've been able to closely observe the success Paradox Interactive has achieved as a global publisher over the past years and we feel they are the perfect fit for our titles, which have already generated so much buzz and interest," said Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark.

"We've said all along that for the right title, we'd jump on the opportunity of going console and when Lead and Gold crossed our path, there was no turning back. The team over at Fatshark is very experienced and has done an excellent job," said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. "There's ample opportunity to roll this out on several different platforms, including PC."
