The folks at Techland are about to get some competition for their Call of Juarez Wild West themed shooters. Today a new development studio called Fatshark announced plans to release Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West. The third person multiplayer-oriented shooter is aiming to give players "a chance to relive the thrills of a gunfight in classic western settings."

Fatshark was founded in 2008 and will use GRIN's Diesel Engine (used for the recent title Bionic Commando) for the game. A release date was not announced but the game is expected to be released via digital download for the PC and other platforms.
