Strange Scaffold has announced El Paso, Elsewhere 2, the sequel to the neo-noir third-person shooter. It will launch for Xbox Series and PC via Steam in 2027.
“Strange Scaffold nearly closed in the process of making the first El Paso, Elsewhere,” said Strange Scaffold studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. in a press release. “It’s a game I never thought we’d have a chance to build a sequel for. So, we’re going to build on the things that worked in the original game, including our existing pieces of art, to create exciting gameplay we never could have even imagined before. I can’t wait for folks to see how far James Savage can go.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Strange Scaffold:
About
El Paso, Elsewhere 2 is a third-person shooter where players battle through over 20 handcrafted levels filled with sinister gargoyles, possessed animatronics, and gun-toting vampires. Like the first game, El Paso, Elsewhere 2 has fast-paced combat combined with brooding, introspective storytelling in otherworldly environments
Following the events of El Paso, Elsewhere, this sequel puts players back in control of protagonist James Savage as he journeys across the United States slaying monsters and sealing away insidious supernatural forces. Betrayed by a close friend, James is dragged into the Void itself to repay a terrible debt to an eldritch horror. He once killed the monster he loved to save the world. Now, he must save his betrayer to save himself.
