Just ahead of its third quarter sales reporting period, French publisher Ubisoft outed a third game in the Call of Juarez shooter series called The Cartel. Details are scarce for the moment, but we know the game is still a first person shooter and that it's set in modern-day Los Angeles, California and Juarez, Mexico. The game is due for worldwide release on PC and "next gen systems" this summer.

"Call of Juarez The Cartel is an action-packed shooter game with a strong story, interesting characters and a wide variety of gameplay options," Ubisoft Director of Marketing Adam Novickas said in a statement included with the press release. "The game will bring the best elements of the Wild West into modern times with a very gritty and relevant plot."

The game's and don't give us much to go on beyond what the press release already covered. The images, however, give us a tantalizing look at what could be a playable female character and a dude that looks an awful lot like 's Ray. First details are expected in the March issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, which hits newsstands in North America on February 9, 2011.
