Red Dead Redemption 2 is an upcoming western-themed action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games. It is scheduled for release on October 26th, 2018.

The game will be released for PS4 and Xbox One.

Ya'll will play as an outlaw called Arthur Morgan. His first introduction doesn't exactly present him as the "take him home to mother" type. We're sure that there's more to him than threatening people, fighting people and robbing banks, but right now, all we know is he's rough around the edges, is quite arrogant and is in the employ of the all-time famous criminal mastermind Dutch van der Linde, leader of the Dutch's Gang. The game's timeline is set in around 1882 and is like the prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption.

The Essence
After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western Gold Town in West Virginia, Arthur Morgan and the Sons of Dutch are forced to flee by the US Govt. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and powers or show more loyalty to the gang who raised him.

Info
The game takes place in 1882.
