Atari’s publishing label Infogrames is bringing one of Europe’s most recognizable comic book cowboys back to video game platforms with Lucky Luke: The Lonesome Cowboy Collection. Developed by Graphite Lab with support from Implicit Conversions, the collection brings together six games originally released across the Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance. It will arrive on January 13, 2027, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Rather than focusing on a single era of the character’s video game history, The Lonesome Cowboy Collection spans several generations of gaming, offering a selection of adventures that many players outside Europe may never have had the opportunity to experience. The collection includes Lucky Luke (Game Boy Color, 1996), Lucky Luke (SNES, 1997), Lucky Luke: On the Dalton’s Trail (PlayStation, 1998), Lucky Luke: Desperado Train (Game Boy Color, 2000), Lucky Luke: Western Fever (PlayStation, 2001), and Lucky Luke: Wanted! (Game Boy Advance, 2001).
All six games will include a selection of modern conveniences designed to make revisiting these older releases more accessible. These include save states, rewind functionality, achievements, visual filters, customizable screen bezels, and rebindable controls. There will also be How to Play guides to help newcomers understand each game and provide assistance when tackling some of its more difficult challenges.
The collection goes beyond simply preserving the original games, however, with the inclusion of the Frontier Experience. This interactive first-person museum and shooting gallery lets players explore Western environments, participate in target-shooting minigames, search for collectibles, and discover original artwork from the Lucky Luke comics and its characters. It provides an additional way to explore the history of the franchise beyond its video game adaptations.
Created in 1946 by Belgian cartoonist Morris, Lucky Luke became one of Europe’s most enduring comic book characters. The quick-drawing cowboy, famous for being able to shoot faster than his own shadow, has appeared in numerous comic book adventures, animated television series, feature films, and, most recently, a live-action television adaptation in 2026. Despite his considerable popularity across Europe, the character has never enjoyed quite the same level of recognition in North America.
That limited North American exposure also extended to his video game appearances. Several Lucky Luke games received releases in Europe but never made their way to the United States, making this collection particularly interesting for players who missed out on them the first time around. Four of the six included games never received an original US release, including the 1997 SNES game, Lucky Luke: Desperado Train, Lucky Luke: Western Fever, and Lucky Luke: Wanted!
The collection also represents a return to familiar territory for Infogrames, which previously published several Lucky Luke video games during the late 1990s and early 2000s. With six releases spanning multiple generations of hardware, The Lonesome Cowboy Collection offers an opportunity to revisit a largely overlooked corner of gaming history while introducing the character’s interactive adventures to a much wider audience.
Lucky Luke: The Lonesome Cowboy Collection launches January 13, 2027, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
