We show how John learned to handle a knife, how he mastered the coin, and one more skill that’s going to be introduced in the flashback scenes. He has three of the four main skills relative to John Cooper in the other missions. Riedler: The kid is very basic in his skill set. GamesBeat: How versatile is the kid? What can you do with him? We’re going to tell a bit about John’s childhood, and the story has something to do with what happened back then. There’s also a classic western revenge story. Riedler: The main story is partly the origin story, how the team got to know each other, and where John Cooper came from. GamesBeat: Can you talk a bit more about the story? Every situation has many different ways to solve it. You can play the game in whatever style you want. It’s a lighthearted approach to the genre. It’s for anyone who likes a challenge, who likes a puzzle, and who likes to play a western game with a good story. It’s very easy to approach, very easy to get into for people who aren’t that into strategy games, real-time tactics games. But with the intuitive gamepad controls–for example, today almost all of the players have picked the Xbox controller to play.

Riedler: Obviously all the fans of the earlier games in the series will enjoy it.

GamesBeat: How would you describe the style of gameplay? What kind of audience enjoys this, where you’re planning out how to outwit the enemies? We also have normal mode, which is already pretty hard, and then hard and hardcore difficulty. You can replay them with different objectives. But we also have lots of replayability planned, with new takes on all the missions. There’s always the option to go guns blazing and rush through missions. Riedler: That depends a lot on your play style. It’ll be at some point in late 2019, on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Riedler: We’ll be announcing that at Gamescom. We’re taking some liberties with developing the characters. It’s not just a prequel, but it’s also a kind of reboot. We decided that the story that we wanted to tell should be a fresh start relative to those. You could look at that as Desperados 2.5. Riedler: We looked at the story that happened in the second game, as well as a spinoff game that was called Helldorado. GamesBeat: Why did you decide to do a prequel? It’s by the same developer that’s doing Desperados III. It was very critically acclaimed and did very well. There’s really only been one game in this genre recently, which was called Shadow Tactics. There hasn’t been a Commandos game for quite a while. Riedler: Commandos and the first Desperados were very similar. Is it comparable to that kind of gameplay? Over the course of the game we’ll have episodes where we show more of the background. You get some backstory about what happened on his learning trips with his father. He’s the main character of the first game, and also this third game. Riedler: The kid you play is John Cooper.
GamesBeat: Is the kid somebody special in the first game? It tells the story of how the characters in the first game met. But the first one was always the best-loved game, and that’s where we’re orienting this one.
After a couple of years, there was Desperados II, which took a different approach with some special feature like first-person mode as an option. Commandos was a popular series around the same time. It was the golden age of a real-time tactics games. Riedler: The original Desperados is almost 17 years old now. GamesBeat: I’m not familiar with the series’ history. It’s been two years, or a little bit longer. Munich and Vienna aren’t so far apart, so I can go back and forth by train.
Riedler: I’m the producer on the THQ side, and the studio is based in Munich. GamesBeat: How long have you been working on Desperados III? Jonathan Riedler: I’m the producer on the THQ side, and the studio is based in Munich.
