Story

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is set in the twilight of the American Old West, framed as a tale told by aging bounty hunter Silas Greaves. Sitting in a saloon in 1910, Silas spins ever more elaborate stories of his younger days chasing outlaws across the frontier, crossing paths with legends like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Butch Cassidy.

Beneath the tall tales runs a personal quest for vengeance that has driven Silas across the West...
