ICYMI: Red Dead Redemption 2 gets a new trailer and October release date

After a couple of delays and reservations on when exactly the much anticipated prequel to the 2010 hit western action game "Red Dead Redemption" would hit, Rockstar Games has finally announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One this October! Set in 1899 and during the period when the days of the Old West are coming to an end, the new entry in the Red Dead series will put players in control of new protagonist Arthur Morgan - who is a member of Dutch's gang and will also subsequently see the return of the first game's protagonist - a younger John Marston.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been delayed to October

Initially expected to be released within the first or second quarter of this year, Rockstar Games has officially announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 will hit Playstation 4 and Xbox One this October instead. The delay was announced on the official Facebook page of the publisher - and was probably done to add more polish time and fixes to the sequel of the 2010 PS3 and Xbox 360 game "Red Dead Redemption". The new game will be a prequel, where players will take control of Arthur Morgan - a member of Dutch's gang (which RDR's John Marston was a member of).

Red Dead Redemption 2? Rockstar teases with new images... One that's Maginificent 7 like too!

In what will certainly get the blood pumping for Red Dead Redemption fans even more, Rockstar has started rolling out teaser images for what could likely be THE NEW SEQUEL that's being called "Red Dead Redemption 2" by fans, but it could be titled as something else in the end. Much like how Redemption was a spiritual successor to the PS2 title "Red Dead Revolver" (which was recently rereleased in the PS2 classics line for PS4), this pretty much confirms that "something" is in the works... And is constantly being updated in Rockstar Games' Twitter page and gaming sites like Kotaku.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN - Official Trailer
From the latest image above, it's looking like they might just go "The Magnificent Seven" route, and that itself got a remake of a film a couple of weeks back starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt! That film FELT like a Red Dead Redemption movie come to life, so if the sequel takes that route imagine what could go down later on... The possibilities!
