The game is due for release midway through this year, and will be available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Previous Call of Juarez games have been western themed shooters, so it remains to be seen just how much of the series&#8217; identity will remain intact as players traverse modern day Los Angeles and Juarez. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The game will centre around the gang warfare which currently plagues modern day Juarez and its surrounding areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If anything, early screen shots are reminiscent of a scene we&#8217;d expect to see in a Grand Theft Auto game. The decision seems particularly odd, following the ridiculous success of Red Dead Redemption, which could only have left gamers craving a little more virtual cowboys and Indians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call of Juarez: The Cartel makes switch to contemporary era <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9917\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
