UPDATE - Sony just announced to have struck a special partnership with Rockstar Games for the game.
Handcrafted to take full advantage of PS4, 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.
We are pleased to announce that PS4 players get first access to earn select online content in the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2. Check back on PlayStation.Blog for more details soon and for all of the latest information on Red Dead Redemption 2.
ORIGINAL STORY - As expected, the first Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer was just published by Rockstar Games on YouTube. It's just over a minute long, but it looks fantastic.
Developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, 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.
Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games, 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.
We don't know anything else about the game itself, other than it will ship in fall 2017 (barring any delays) for Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One consoles. You can already pre-order the game on Amazon, by the way.
There's no mention of a PC version so far and considering that neither Red Dead Revolver nor Red Dead Redemption were ever released for PC, there may never be. Should that change, and for any and all news, we'll keep you updated. In the meantime, check out the stunning first Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer.
