The original Red Dead Redemption was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 eight years ago and we will have to wait to play the sequel (which will be released in a couple of months). Following the reveal of its recent trailer featuring members of the Van der Linde gang, Rockstar Games shared (via Telegraph) a batch of screenshots that show more of the upcoming open-world title’s characters.
That's not everything Rockstar has prepared for the players following the release of the third trailer as several outlets have gone up with new previews of Red Dead Redemption 2 recently and they feature some juicy details about the third game in the Red Dead series. According to the Telegraph, Red Dead Redemption 2 the biggest game it has created in terms of the map size and its massive Wild West environment is fit to burst with activities, mini-games, side quests, story missions and more.
“We want to go deeper into the whole experience," Rockstar North’s Co-Studio Head Rob Nelson explained, "as wide as we can go - the things you can do with the character, the directions you can take [the protagonist], the choices you can make and how they affect his reaction to the things that are happening to him and his family and his gang; to see how much you can interact with that and what is his capacity for change.” The main protagonist from the last game, John Marston will make an appearance in the sequel, but he is not the center of attention this time around.

With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. 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.
