A handful of new Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots have come online, showcasing the gorgeous-looking western from Grand Theft Auto publisher Rockstar Games. The screenshots show off main character Arthur Morgan and other members of the Van der Linde gang. We also see Morgan hanging ducks, with his trusty steed in the background. What's more, there is a shot of Morgan leaving a graveyard and another of Morgan and a gang member trekking through the forest. Additionally, a big, scary bear with a fierce growl can be seen. Nature is frightening.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in 1899 America, 12 years before the events of 2010's Red Dead Redemption. The story picks up after a robbery goes wrong, with Morgan and the gang on the run; federal agents and bounty hunters are tracking them down. "As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him," reads a line from Rockstar's official description of the story.

The new screenshots and details follow the latest trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, which, among other things, confirms that Red Dead Redemption 1 protagonist John Marston is in the game. The new trailer is stuffed with interesting details; here are 11 fascinating details we caught in the new video.

Red Dead Redemption 2 launches on October 26 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Rockstar Games historically does not have a big presence at E3, but anything is possible, especially considering Rockstar's partnership with Sony to give PlayStation gamers first access to some of Red Dead Redemption 2's online content.
