The guns get unholstered at the end of June, according to retailers.

Walmart, Target, GameStop, and Amazon all agree on a Tuesday, June 28, release date for Ubisoft's Western. Call of Juarez: The Cartel was announced in February for a "summer" debut, and the purported June 28 date fits within that time frame. However, Ubisoft has yet to formally announce a release date for the game.

Unlike its predecessors, which were set during the Wild West, Call of Juarez: The Cartel takes place during modern times. As the name implies, the game chronicles a drug war along the Mexican border, casting players as a female FBI agent, a Wild West sheriff type, and an undercover drug agent. Polish developer Techland said it chose the setting in order to capture a "relevant plot" that would connect with today's gamers.
