THE WILDER WEST

Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer is OUT NOW and it looks absolutely amazing

Rockstar Games has just revealed the latest instalment of its Wild West masterpiece video game.

After being teased late on Sunday afternoon, the trailer for Red Dead Redemption has just landed.

The trailer shows the vast landscapes seen in the original game, and hints that it may follow the story line of John Marston as he and his gang escape their crimes.

It is rumoured the game will act as a prequel to Red Dead Redemption and will follow Marston as he becomes one of the country’s most wanted outlaws.

Gamers lost their minds when the game was teasingly revealed earlier this week.
Now their thirst for answers will finally be satiated as Rockstar reveals the first concrete details about this highly anticipated title.

Red Dead Redemption was released back in 2010 to huge critical acclaim, with the Official Playstation Magazine rating it as the third best PS3 game of all time.

Since then it has developed a cult status among gamers, with many fans of the series pining Rockstar for a new release.

The 2010 release followed John Marston as he traversed the western landscape of America and Mexico in 1911, searching for those who had wronged him.

Red Dead Redemption was widely lauded for its brilliant cinematics, well developed gameplay and suitably epic soundtrack.

One of the strongest parts of the original title was its enormous map, which spanned two countries and several landscapes, including desert, city and mountain ranges.

While the new trailer doesn't specify the location of the game, it has been rumoured the game will be set in an eastern US state.

One of the games' most anticipated announcements so far has been the inclusion of a vast online multiplayer platform, with many imagining a similar style of gameplay to that of GTA V.

An official release date is yet to be confirmed, however Rockstar have announced that the game will be released sometime in Autumn 2017.
