Next Call Of Juarez Will Be In Present Days

While still a first person shooter, the third game in the Call of Juarez series, Call of Juarez: Das Kartell, will see a significant departure from its predecessors as it abandons their Wild West atmosphere to a modern one.

"Call of Juarez: The Cartel is an action-packed shooter game with a strong story, interesting characters and a wide variety of gameplay options," Ubisoft marketing director Adam Novickas said in a press release. "The game will bring the best elements of the Wild West into modern times with a very gritty and relevant plot."

Call of Juarez: The Cartel will take place in Los Angeles, California and, naturally, Juarez, Mexico.

The city of Juarez has made it to news recently after 14 persons – including a police officer who was shot 15 times in a crowded intersection – were killed in 48 hours.

Call of Juarez: The Cartel is scheduled for a release this summer on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
