Red Dead Redemption 2

If, like me, you playedRed Dead Redemption 2and not the previous game in the series,Red Dead Redemption,then chances are you’ll also have beencrossing your fingers for a remake. Well, count your lucky spurs, because your wish has been granted - kind of.

Rockstar hasconfirmed that the OriginalRed Dead Redemptionwill be released on August 17th forNintendo SwitchandPS4. That’s right, there is noPS5version (or Xbox version at all). It will be nice to run around the likes of Blackwater on the Nintendo Switch but this has been confirmed to be very much NOT a remaster. The game will perform identically to its 2010 self, with no visual or gameplay changes. It will be available digitally from August 17th with a disc edition launching in October.

It will at least come bundled as part of a $50 combo pack with the spooky Zombie-themedUndead NightmareDLC that was much loved, although it doesn’t look like multiplayer will be included though with Rockstar describing the DLC and base game as “classic, single-player experiences.” that’s a shame as I feel like it could have been integrated easily intoRed Dead Online(which is its own standalone title now) to give it some much needed extra content.

If you’ve playedRed Dead Redemption 2firstand are worried you’ve already ruined the story for yourself, you’ll be pleased to know that isn’t true. The 2010 game is actually set after RDR2 so in fact, it could actually be the best way to experience things (a bit likeBarbenheimer).

Of course, whatever form it arrives in,Red Dead Redemptionis widely considered to be a must-play.
