Paradox Interactive dropped a pretty big news bomb in the form of Lead & Gold, their third-person western shooter, is making the hop from PC to home consoles. The only stipulation of the news is that they don’t say which console(s) the game will appear on.

According to Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive…

"We’ve said all along that for the right title, we’d jump on the opportunity of going console and when Lead and Gold crossed our path, there was no turning back. The team over at Fatshark is very experienced and has done an excellent job," "There’s ample opportunity to roll this out on several different platforms, including PC."

So does that mean it could make an appearance on the Wii? The Xbox 360? The PS3? A mixture of the three? The anticipation will probably drive a lot of articles through the flamewar playground known as N4G. Nevertheless, I’m sure Paradox Interactive will make an announcement about the now-multiplatform shooter, Lead & Gold.
