It’s been an exciting week for fans of the Red Dead gaming franchise. Over the weekend,
Rockstar Games gave us
two teasers pointing towards a new sequel to
Red Dead Redemption. On Tuesday, the developer officially announced that the game would
arrive in Fall 2017 and that it would be called
Red Dead Redemption 2.
Rockstar also told us to standby for a trailer that would debut on Thursday morning. Well, it’s Thursday morning and Rockstar was true to its word. Here’s the trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2:
There’s definitely a lot of potential here, although we don’t have much to go on with regards to the story. At least the visuals look solid, and Rockstar has made it a point to state that multiplayer will be a key focus with Red Dead Redemption 2.
As we previously stated, Red Dead Redemption 2 is on track to launch around this time next year (although we wouldn’t be surprised to see that launch slip into early 2018), and will initially be available only on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. However, if Grand Theft Auto V is any indicator, we may see a PC version eventually make its way to those who crave 4K gaming goodness.
