Metal Max: Wild West

About

Metal Max Wild West serves as a sequel to Metal Max Xeno and its remake, Metal Max Xeno Reborn. You play a new protagonist tasked with bringing a post-apocalyptic city back to life while exploring open landscapes. The core loop still relies on vehicle-based combat where you customize tanks and mechs to crush enemies. This version was originally announced in 2019 but faced a cancellation in June 2022 before being revived as part of the broader Xeno universe expansion. What stands out here is the focus on rebuilding rather than just destroying everything in sight. Players will find themselves managing resources and restoring infrastructure alongside standard RPG battles. The game runs on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch for a single player experience. Fans of the series often rate these entries highly due to their deep vehicle customization systems. This title keeps the gritty tone of previous games while offering a fresh narrative hook centered on community restoration in a wasteland setting.

Storyline

The story in Wild West would take place a few years after Metal Max Xeno Reborn. It involves a new protagonist restoring a post-apocalyptic city to life. It was based on the concept of rebuilding, though it would still feature the vehicle-based combat of the series proper (especially in Xeno).
