Red Dead Redemption 2 is official, coming in 2017

Red Dead returns.

After a couple of days of teases, Rockstar Games has officially announced Red Dead Redemption 2. It will come out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Fall 2017. We’ll see the first trailer for the open-world western on at 8 a.m. Pacific on Thursday, October 20. The first Red Dead Redemption (itself a sequel to the lesser-known Red Dead Revolver from 2004) came out in 2010 and shipped (but didn’t sell) over 14 million copies on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
