Aaaaaaah! That’s the only appropriate response, perhaps with a spot of dashing around frantically, to the news that Rockstar Games has announced Red Dead Redemption 2. Officially.
Rockstar’s Sam Houser said “With Red Dead Redemption 2, the team is working hard to push forward our vision for interactive entertainment in a truly living world. We hope to deliver players an epic experience that builds upon everything we’ve learned making games.”
As far as launch platforms go, only the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have been confirmed so far. The PC… we’re still waiting for word on that but we’re hoping that Rockstar is planning a GTA V and the high-resolution PC version is only going to be delayed. The console edition will launch in ‘Fall’ 2017, so we’re expecting a September/October launch next year.
Though we’ve only seen stills up till now, Rockstar plans to release a trailer on Thursday evening — so we know what we’re going to be waking up to this Friday morning. Saddle up and stay tuned, this is going to be epic.
