Red Dead Redemption 2 Pushed To Spring 2018

Red Dead Redemption 2 is now set to launch during the Spring of 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This outlaw epic set across the vast and unforgiving American heartland will be the first Rockstar game created from the ground up for the latest generation of console hardware, and the developer said some extra time is necessary to ensure that they could deliver the best experience possible for fans.

Rockstar apologized to fans for the delay, but said that they are firm believers in delivering a game only when it is ready. More details about Red Dead Redemption 2 are due out this summer. Rockstar also released some new screenshots to show off the pending game.

How bummed are you about the delay? Let us know in the comments.

John has spent his journalism career covering just about everything, from small-town meetings and crime scenes to Capitol Hill and the U.S. Congress. He got his start writing about games and technology with a computer column called On the Chip Side, which grew to more than 1 million in circulation and ran in newspapers across several states. Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek and many other publications, and he writes a regular technology and government column for Nextgov/FCW and hosts security and educational webinars for FedInsider. He is also the founder of the Tech Writers Bureau and the chief editor of GameIndustry.com. He still loves disappearing into games, whether that means crawling through Baldur’s Gate dungeons deep into the night or planning one more big offensive in the latest wargame.
