True to its promise, game developer Rockstar has just released an official launch trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2. This is a highly-anticipated cowbow-themed open world game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Offical Launch Trailer
Fans will not have to wait much longer, though, as the game is scheduled to be released on October 26. It will be available on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, like its predecessor, Red Dead Redemption 2 also doesn’t have a PC version. Moreover, there is no official information on whether the game will ever come to PC either.
For those fans that do own a console, the trailer gives them a taste of what is awaiting them in this vast world of the wild west. The story follows the footstep of Arthur Morgan, a member of the Dutch Van der Linde outlaw gang. The events of Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in 1899. This makes the game a prequel to Red Dead Redemption, which is set in 1911. The trailer gives hints of a classic Western story with crimes, rivalry, loyalty, gun fights, and more. In it, we can see Dutch and Arthur talking about “one more big score” before they have enough money to leave. It can be speculated that the gang might be fighting for their survival against the American government who is trying to wipe them out.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is certainly a big hit, literally. As we reported before, the game has over 500,000 dialogue lines as well as 300,000 animations. To make it, Rockstar had to hire 1,200 actors for motion capturing, 700 of whom also participated in voice recording. With all this, the game will take up 90GB of your hard drive space.
According to previous information from Rockstar, Red Dead Redemption 2 will have various new features. Now, you will have the ability to customize your weapons. Similar to Grand Theft Auto 5, the game also has an online multiplayer mode called Red Dead Online, which is expected to come out in November.
