Dear All,

We are excited to announce that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on October 26th 2018. We apologize to everyone disappointed by this delay. While we had hoped to have the game out sooner, we require a little extra time for polish.

We sincerely thank you for your patience and hope that when you get to play the game, you will agree the wait will have been worth it. In the meantime, please check out these screenshots from the game. We look forward to sharing a lot more information with you in the coming weeks.

With thanks,

Rockstar Games

PC version please.

i expect PC version will be coming out next year 2019.

Please understand my skepticism.

Hopefully no more delays. Cause i just can't wait to play this

@airraidjet: they are bullshots.

no way rockstar can make graphics that good.

This should light a fire under Insomniac's arses , and Sony Bend can now target Jan/Feb 2019 for Days Gone.

Pretty much a Mighty X1X MonsterBox MasterRace Exclusive... Baby!! :P

@ghosts4ever: Id expect it to look like that on PS4 pro/X1X. It will be a top tier open world game visually.

LOL, what the hell are you talking about?

This is pretty standard looking stuff running on RAGE.

(Rockstar Advanced Game Engine).

GTA IV, RDR, GTA V all used this engine.

RDR2 looks really nice, but I doubt they're bullshots.

Probably PS4 Pro or Xbox One X screenshots.

Can't wait to play this on my X!

was hoping for a may release but October will do.

I'm in the same boat!

I won’t lie, I’m bummed out to hear this but only because I’m super hyped for this game. Ultimately though I’m fine with this, if they need more time then they need more time.

Oh my, PC getting that good ole second class gamer treatment from Take Two.

@Pedro: Seems so unfortunately.

Hmm, a little later than I expected. But oh well... gonna look awesome on the X!

and the marketing hype train game has just now been released

Might be a game I have to double dip with. Get it on Xbox first then pc whenever that comes out. Unless they shock the world and announce a pc release not far from console release, if it even gets a pc release.

Will buy this for mah X.

No problemo, lot of games to work on until then

I hope this is to make the enhanced versions stellar. I literally bought an x1x just for this game.

@darktruth007: Ummm...what?

No GTA 6 this gen

i would rather have this on PC..... guess ill have to settle with the pro version

Meh. I'm in no rush to play RDR2 anyways. I'm one of the few who isn't hype about it.

(Despite I enjoy the first Red Dead Redemption back on PS3)

I can't wait. Probably my most anticipated game this year besides Kingdom Hearts 3

They should've went with Syphon Filter. =(

If PC 2nd class, then what makes Nintendo fans?

It probably will be a cross platform title designed around PS4/Xone.

Next time show patience. =(

Rockstar PS2>>>>>Rockstar PS3/PS4

I don't care that much. You all told Rockstar it was okay to have mediocre, sluggish mechanics and irreverent storytelling by buying 80 million copies of GTA V. Thanks a lot.

Xbox one X. Or ps poor, and pc virgin nerd box in a decade.

@ezekiel43: Max payne 4 would be so much better.

Hope they will do after that. Not boring gta again.

RDR has to be one of my favourite games from last gen, strangely enough I've never felt any hype watching any of the videos or screenshots for this.

Pretty much looks like RDR with prettier graphics, and I much rather have a PC version.

Game will sell billions and Rockstar doesn't owe me jack ****, but I have so many games to play that I'd rather not play this on consoles and wait for a PC version. If there's never one than, meh, so be it.

I agree about GTA V... I think it's massively overrated from a campaign perspective. But I have higher hopes for RDR 2. I think, in a way, RDR needs to have a better story/characters & more interesting missions than GTA, because of the setting. There wasn't as much to see & do in RDR from a setting perspective, compared to GTA's detailed cities (where there's lots to see and do). So the story/characters/missions need to be interesting to engage you in the world in RDR.

Anyway, here's hoping.

Damn delay, oh well, it's Rockstar so we know they're going to deliver an amazing product.

Can't wait, will look incredible on X

We probably won't see PC version like around in late 2019 maybe? I wasn't even hype after hearing Rockstars just gonna launch RDR2 for console versions and I'm totally cool waiting for PC if they even give a damn about it this time and if not, I won't bother playing it on consoles.

No laster race version announced, damn more like the not releasing race :P

GTA V took them a year and a half to launch on PC and PC really isn't that high on their priority list.

We may get an announcement or tease in 2019. But honestly, there are plenty of quality multiplats and exclusives coming out on PC.

I already have to scrap most interesting looking games from my list this year, because I keep spending money on games I never have the time to play... lmao :p

@metalboi: It could also mean that they're releasing GTA 5 for the Switch this first half, so they delayed RDR2 to not have it cannibalize Switch sales? One could dream.....

@FireEmblem_Man: At this point, I rather if Rockstars just give Nintendo Switch GTA6 as a nice surprise port.

We don't know when that will come, since GTA 5 still makes a lot of money. I mean, if the reason people are buying GTA 5 for GTA Online, why don't they just release it as a standalone title instead?

@FireEmblem_Man: Gamers are gonna get tired of playing GTA Online and I only play it just straight 3 months and never look back :(

If Rockstars wanna keep there player base in check, they'd be stupid enough to not make another GTA game.

Don't get me wrong, I would love a new GTA game. Having GTA on the go would be great! I don't know if their current engine would run on the Switch.

Day before my birthday :)

@SecretPolice: Probably delayed so Rockstar Employees can get more time with the goat dropping March 20th. The Waves coming off the closed beta seem immense.

Can't wait to play the definitive version with essential exclusive content in 4K on my PS4 Pro.

Surely it can't take that long to add Polish support.

Hahahahhahaha Hahahhahahaha hahahahahaha ahhahahahahahahahahaha.

@stereointegrity: Should still look great on the Pro, don't you think?
