After two days of teasing messages on Twitter, Rockstar has officially announced Red Dead Redemption 2. The sequel to the company’s 15m-selling western adventure will launch next autumn.
In a brief press release sent out on Tuesday afternoon, Rockstar referred to the sequel as:
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also 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 Sam Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games. “We hope to deliver players an epic experience that builds upon everything we’ve learned making games.”
Red Dead Redemption 2 will release in fall 2017 on Xbox One and PS4.
Check out the Trailer:
“The ‘will it be on PC’ question? remains vexing. On the one hand, recent GTA tradition dictates that they pretend there isn’t a PC version for a few months, before eventually revealing a visually nip’n’tucked version due the next year. The meagre RDR2 info to date only mentions Xbone and Pussfor, so there remains every chance they’re once again simply declining to talk about PC until later. That way they get an extra marketing push, and to shout bigger, better, shinier rather than make the consoles look bad pre-release.
Also! PC gaming in 2016 is not PC gaming in 2007. So much bigger now, so much more money likely: much more foolish to ignore because it’s too much effort.
On the other hand, Red Dead Redemption 1 was never on PC, so there’s a question mark hanging over whether they’re happy to essentially split the series or want to be all neat and tidy and keep it inside a console box.”
