Far Far West Achieves Major Sales Success During Launch Week as Independent Gaming Sector Growth Outpaces Blockbusters in 2026 with Evil Raptor Roadmap Revealed
The independent game Far Far West achieved 500k sales after its launch which lasted for 6 days. The independent gaming sector continues to drive substantial growth while large budget blockbusters encounter profitability problems in 2026. The Evil Raptor development team has reported that their cooperative action game Far Far West achieved 500k sales since its release. The game reached this milestone just 6 days after it launched on Steam Early Access.
The success follows other notable independent launches earlier this year including Kraken Express by Windrose and Unfrozen with the latest installment of Heroes of Might and Magic. The Evil Raptor official statement reveals that the development team consists of 8 members. The development team is working on technical stability and they have asked players to document all bugs they find throughout the first launch period.
Far Far West is a multiplayer first person shooter that draws heavy inspiration from the mechanics of Left 4 Dead. The story follows robot cowboys who complete tasks for their sheriff while they fight against endless waves of zombies. The Steam community connects with this genre combination which the game uses during its first distribution period.
The studio plans to keep Far Far West in the early access phase for 1 year before a full version release. The 8 person team will spend this time to increase mission content while they improve combat systems according to player feedback. The project has reached its development funding goals because it has achieved strong sales performance which will allow development to continue until 2027.
