''[[Call of Juarez]]'' was a critical and financial success and a prequel, ''Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood'', was developed and released mid-2009, centering on Ray and his brother Thomas' exploits in their youth. After deserting from the [[American Civil War|Confederate Army]] shortly before its defeat, the McCalls find their old home burned down, their youngest brother William being the only survivor. To rebuild their home, the three travel to Mexico to find the legendary treasure of Juarez but [[Token Good Teammate|William]] worries that his brothers are [[The Dark Side|becoming outlaw murderers]] who only want the money...

=== ''Call of Juarez: The Cartel'' (2011) ===

 

 

Less a sequel and more of a [[Spiritual Successor]] with the same name, ''The Cartel'' moves the setting into [[New Old West|the modern day]] and criminal underdealings in Mexico and East LA. The new protagonists are Ben McCall, a [[Cowboy Cop]] from LA and Ray's distant descendant; Kim Evans, a [[The Ladette|tough]] [[Action Girl]] from the FBI; and Eddie Guerra, a [[Card Sharp]] working for the DEA. They investigate a terrorist attack orchestrated by the eponymous drug cartel and kick a lot of ass. Features the [[Co-Op Multiplayer]] mode that the previous title strangely lacked, allowing teams to control up to all three characters at once.
