Red Dead Redemption II
Dev. Rockstar Studios
Pub. Rockstar Games
Release Date: Oct. 26
Available On: PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
In terms of American history, nothing is more classic than the aesthetic of the Wild West—which is why Rockstar Games’ original Red Dead Redemption game became a big hit when it released eight years ago. Now a sequel is finally making its way to next generation consoles, offering a new open world adventure set in 1899 just as the era of the Wild West ends and the 20th century begins. Ride horses, lasso enemies, travel with your outlaw gang and marvel at the beautiful landscape of the United States in its prime. (Nicole Potter)
