'Red Dead Redemption 2' confirmed, coming in fall 2017
It's official: Red Dead Redemption 2 has a name and a release window.
After two days of social media teases, Rockstar Games confirmed a fall 2017 launch for the sequel to its 2010 Western. The title and date were revealed in a new image that adds the new details to the image the developer shared on Monday.
A minimal website offers a few key details. The fall 2017 release is confirmed for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One -- no mention of a PC release -- and the game will feature both a story mode and an online mode, similar to Grand Theft Auto V.

The site notes that Red Dead 2's story "is an epic tale of life in America's unforgiving heartland," but offers no further information. Though a more defined version of the image released on Monday shows that the seven silhouettes are all dudes.
There's not much more to say about the game right now, but you won't have to wait long for additional details. The first trailer is coming on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 11 a.m. EST.
