Rockstar Games revealed the first story trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 in a livestream this morning. The game isn’t coming out until the spring of 2018, but Rockstar is stoking excitement about the game.

The predecessor game, Red Dead Redemption, was my favorite game of 2010. And for a lot of other people too. It sold more than 14 million copies on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. The trailer for the new game clearly shows that Rockstar continues to invest heavily in both high-end game graphics and cinematics.
