It isn’t often that gamers in the online world get surprised. Before the launch of most new titles, there is usually a leak that lets insider information out before game developers intend – but, the gaming world got quite the shock this week when it was announced that Rock Star Games will be releasing a sequel to its hugely popular Red Dead Redemption.

If You’ve Never Played the Original…

…you must immediately go out and do so now!  Red Dead Redemption is a Playstation 3 game that was released in 2010 as a follow up to Red Dead Revolver. The game is set in 1911, following outlaw John Marston who is on a quest to rescue his kidnapped wife and son. Red Dead Redemption is considered one of the greatest video games of all time, earning top markets from IGN, Game Informer and Metacritic.

The game was lauded for its impressive graphics, for acting and soundtrack, along with its cinematic plot. It is no wonder Red Dead Redemption continues to be a hugely popular title among all gamers.

What Do We Know About Red Dead Redemption 2 So Far?

Firstly, take a look at the trailer below: This is basically all we have to go on at the moment: beautifully-rendered scenery, an American frontier setting and some cryptic voiceovers. So, we know what it will look like and where it will be set but there is no telling exactly what the game will be about or how the gameplay will work.

Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption were very different games but with similar mechanics and themes. So, we can expect a familiar setting and likely similar gameplay. We hope that it will be a huge sandbox title like the original Red Dead Redemption – but there really is no telling.

Red Dead Redemption Online?

One theory that is making the rounds in the online world is the possibility of the new Red Dead Redemption feature online gaming capability. Gamers are speculating that they may have the ability to explore the Old West with their friends in the same way that players could go on heists and missions in GTA Online. Whatever happens, we’re very excited for the launch of this new game. We can’t wait to learn more, and we’ll be keeping you updated!
