New Wild West-themed first-person Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has been dated for release in and North America.

The cinematic romp, a prequel to the surprisingly good original, will hit the PC, and on July 3rd in Europe, following a June 30th debut in North America.

We recently had the pleasure of taking a look at the game and it does seem to progressing well, what's more we'll be assessing the aspect hands-on before May is out to boot.

This from last month's preview: "Bound in Blood certainly looks the part, and we can't help but warm to the setting, which really should have spawned more games than it has. Still, are nonetheless entering a competitive genre that has come a long way since the first Call of Juarez whistled across the plains."
