Xalavier Nelson and his studio Strange Scaffold have announced El Paso, Elsewhere 2, a followup to the Max Payne-influenced 2023 shooter.

In a post on his Bluesky account, Nelson says that it's "early days" for the sequel, but shares a title page for what is presumably its script. The page is pretty barren; it simply gives the name of the game, i.e. El Paso, Elsewhere 2, and Nelson's name as a writing credit.

Amusingly, a couple of replies give potential names for the game, including El Paso, Everywhere and El Paso, Everywhere, All at Once, referencing the popular 2022 comedy movie. Of course, the game will probably just end up being called El Paso, Elsewhere 2. Ho hum.

If you're not familiar with the original El Paso, Elsewhere, it's a "third-person love letter to classic shooters" developed by Xalavier Nelson and his studio Strange Scaffold.

The game revolves around James Savage, troubled protagonist and Blade-style enemy to vampires. Savage must descend into a motel that's suddenly gained a few extra floors thanks to a vampiric incursion.

El Paso, Elsewhere features a fully original hip-hop soundtrack composed by Nelson himself, and presumably, the sequel will feature more of Nelson's...
