Red Dead Redemption 2 gets a story trailer

If you can remember last week (in Internet terms, it’s ancient history), Rockstar managed to cause a riot online by posting a simple picture. True to the font used in the announcement, Red Dead Redemption 2 news is here. This time, it has a little more meat on its bones, since we have a whole new story trailer to chew over.

If you are wondering who the rowdy boys of the trailer are, meet Arthur Morgan and the merry Van Der Linde gang. For those of you who remember playing Red Dead Redemption, you take on the “Dutch’s Gang” in it. This, more than anything else, proves that the timeline of the sequel actually places it as a prequel.

Here is what Rockstar says about the trailer: “Today we are proud to present the all-new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang as they rob, fight and steal their way across the vast and rugged heart of America in order to survive. Coming Spring 2018 to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems.” Well, at least they are still sticking to that “spring” part.

Other interesting things that can be seen in the trailer include a train heist – hopefully this means that GTA V style heists will be a part of the game now? There is every reason to suspect that Rockstar has built on GTA V and that we will see both the PC version of the game and the online component some time in thefuture, although nothing has been confirmed as of yet. There is also some bow-and-arrow gameplay shown, which is always nice to see.

Crossing fingers for the game coming out sooner rather than later.

If you end up getting stuck at another point, you might want to check out some of the other guides we have. We've written about mysteries like the missing person Gavin, the Rhodes Gunsmith prisoner, the locked door at Valentine doctor. We also have instructional guides that show how to rob stores without getting bounty or where to sell jewelry and gold bars. If it's collectibles or key items you're after, we've found all the Penny Dreadful comic books, Chick's treasure map location, or that famous pipe for Dutch. Finally, if you don't care to explore the map yourself, you could take a look at our Watson's Cabin and Catfish Jackson's Homestead locations guides. In the latest Red Dead Online Moonshiners Update you'll have a chance to find Navy Revolver and Best Shack Locations.
