Rockstar confirms Red Dead Redemption is coming in 2017

After Rockstar Games released a couple of teaser images of a possible new Red Dead game, Red Dead Redemption 2 has officially been confirmed.

Fans can rejoice! For quite some time, we have been hoping for a new Red Dead game. We didn’t care if it was a sequel to Red Dead Redemption, we just wanted a new game in the series.

On Sunday, Rockstar Games began teasing the new game with an image. At first, we weren’t sure whether it was a new Red Dead game or not, but based on the red background and its style, it was hard to say that it wasn’t.

Then, on Monday, they released another image with the same signature background. But, this time around, you see seven cowboys/ outlaws walking together, which seems to pay homage to The Magnificent Seven. This was a very cool site to see and it basically confirmed a new Red Dead game.

Finally, on Tuesday, Rockstar Games announced and officially confirmed Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s unaware if it’ll be a direct sequel to the first game, but the website does give us a hint. Before we get into that, check out the awesome new image below:

According to the website, Red Dead Redemption 2 is being developed by the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption. It will tell a story of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. It’ll also feature a new online multiplayer experience and a huge, vast world to explore.

It sounds like this will be Rockstar’s best work to date. As stated before, many fans are excited about this game. In fact, thousands. The new image revealing the new game has over 100,000 retweets, which is incredible.

Best of all, it’s also confirmed that we’ll be getting a trailer on Thursday, October 20, at 11 AM ET. We can’t wait to check this game out for the first time. Hopefully, we can contain our excitement until fall of 2017.
