Grand Theft Auto creator Rockstar Games‘ next game will be Red Dead Redemption 2, a follow-up to its critically-acclaimed Wild West epic. According to Rockstar, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be ‘an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland’ and the game will ‘provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience’.
“With Red Dead Redemption 2, the team is working hard to push forward our vision for interactive entertainment in a truly living world,” said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. ” We hope to deliver players an epic experience that builds upon everything we’ve learned making games.”
Red Dead Redemption 2’s first trailer appeared on Thursday 20 October 2016, back when the game was scheduled for Autumn 2017. It was a 68 second glimpse at the game that showed gorgeous Western vistas and a gang of seven charging across the plains on horseback. But beyond that, there was little official info. Oh Rockstar, you big tease! Thankfully, we’ve got a whole lot information since then. Including a story trailer, the protagonist and a slew of rumours. Here is everything we know so far.
When is Red Dead Redemption 2 released and what platforms is it on?
Red Dead Redemption is scheduled for release on PS4 and Xbox One on 26 October 2018. The game was originally supposed to ride into town last autumn, but Rockstar delayed the game until Spring, saying “extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans.” A further delay has pushed the game back to its now, apparently more solid, Autumn release. “We are excited to announce that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on October 26 2018,” Rockstar said in an official blog. “We apologize to everyone disappointed by this delay. While we had hoped to have the game out sooner, we require a little extra time for polish.”
