Fans expecting a release from Red Dead Redemption 2 had hoped in summer or even spring were a little too optimistic. Rockstar Games now has the official date October 26th proclaimed. Hopefully, the extra time for fine-tuning will make the game even better and give fans a real hit this fall.

Here is the message from the developers:

Hello everybody,
 
We are excited to announce that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on October 26th, 2018. We regret the delay, but while we were hoping to get the game out sooner, we just need a little more time to get the perfect result.
 
We thank you very much for your patience and hope that in autumn you will agree that the wait was worth it. In the meantime, check out some screenshots from the game below. We are very happy to be able to share a lot more information with you in the coming weeks.
 
Thank you so much!

Red Dead Redemption 2 - The Prehistory

The predecessor of Red Dead Redemption 2 was a real fan favorite and accordingly the hype about the sequel has been extremely high since the first teasers. So far, only a console version for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 has been announced. Story-wise, RDR2 is about the bandit Arthur Morgan, who with his gang causes unrest in the Wild West. In terms of time, the 2nd part is located before the 1st. The chance of a reunion with “old” or in this case “new” acquaintances from Red Dead Redemption should be great. We are sure to learn interesting details about the history of popular characters.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on October 26, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
