Some of you may remember the wild west shooter Red Dead Revolver and many of you may feel that a sequel is long overdue, we’re right there with you. One of the greatest games of 2004 is about to see a new chapter unfold on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Red Dead Redemption is set to be an epic Western, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. Telling the tale of John Marston, former outlaw, Red Dead Redemption will take players on an adventure across the American frontier (see the first batch of images below).
Redemption will utilize the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), featuring an open-world environment that players will be able to explore to their hearts content, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teeming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes, all packed with an “endless flow of varied distractions,” says Rockstar. Players will meet a host of unique characters, struggle against the harshness of one of the world’s last remaining wildernesses, and ultimatelypick their own precarious path through and epic story about the death of the Wild West and the gunslingers that inhabited it.
“The team at San Diego have massively exceeded our expectations with the sheer depth of experiences in Red Dead Redemption,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing. We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be.”
Looks like we’ll all be able to get our hands on this one come next fall. Sounds absolutely amazing at this point and we can’t wait for it! Keep it here for all the latest details on Red Dead Redemption.
