Gameplay

The game will be set in an open world environment,[1] featuring single-player and online multiplayer components.[2]

Development

Red Dead Redemption 2 is developed by Rockstar Studios.[3]

Rockstar Games announced the game on October 18, 2016, with the first trailer being released on October 20.[4][5] In the two days prior, the company had used various social media platforms as well as their own website to release two teaser images in the color and theme of Red Dead Redemption.[6][7][8][9] The teaser images led to considerable attention and raised the stock price of its distributor Take-Two Interactive nearly six percent.[10][11] On the day of its announcement for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, some fans started petitioning Rockstar for the game to be made available on Microsoft Windows as well.[12] Per an exclusivity agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment, certain online game content will be timed exclusives for the PlayStation 4.[13]

Macquarie Securities analyst Ben Schachter projects the game will sell 12 million copies during Take-Two Interactive's second fiscal quarter in 2017.[14]
