Red Dead Redemption 2: new trailer released for 2018's most anticipated game

Rockstar Games offers new glimpse at wild west prequel ahead of October release

Rockstar Games has released a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most anticipated video games of the year.

The game, which will be out on October 26, is a prequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption, a western set in 1911 that followed the ill-fated outlaw John Marston in his attempts to redeem himself in the eyes of the law. Red Dead Redemption 2 stars Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang that played a pivotal role in the first game's storyline. It is set in 1899, and the new trailer shows the gang on the run as the West becomes less wild.
