Cowboys and Rustlers Announced From Grand Theft Horse Developers [IGN]

The developers of Rustler (Grand Theft Horse), a top-down, GTA2-style parody of Grand Theft Auto set in medieval times, has announced its next project: the Wild West-set Cowboys and Rustlers.Cowboys and Rustlers promises “a unique friendship between a man and a horse” and adds that you will “help your best friend – a cynical horse named Theodore – write his revolutionary novel and enjoy each other’s company while wreaking havoc all around” in this Rustler follow-up that, like its predecessor, uses GTA2’s top-down perspective as its foundation. Watch the announcement trailer above and check out the first screenshots in the gallery below.The developers promise that you’ll be able to “Rob banks, cheat in poker to earn money, race with stagecoaches, and try to catch anybody with a lasso (or learn how to use it differently),” along with plenty of anachronistic pop culture references.Wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.Ryan McCaffrey is IGN’s executive editor of previews and host of both IGN’s weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He’s a North Jersey guy, so it’s “Taylor ham,” not “pork roll.” Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.

We’re sure it’s just a coincidence that this parody game is set in the Wild West, like RDR2…
