Release Date for Red Dead Redemption

After almost six years the sequel to Red Dead Revolver will be released in the second quarter 2010

Rockstar Games has announced that Red Dead Redemption, the successor to 2004’s hit Red Dead Revolver, will be available on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 27, 2010 in North America and on April 30, 2010 internationally.

Red Dead Redemption recreates the American West at the turn of the 20th century: a violent and turbulent time of rapid growth and change. Players become the partially reformed outlaw John Marston; blackmailed by the government, his family threatened as he is forced to traverse the vast and unforgiving expanses of the Western frontier in search of members of his former gang. In a dangerous world full of opportunistic criminals, corrupt officials and settlers battling the elements in a struggle to survive, Marston’s journey takes him from the dusty and lawless frontier to the civilised towns of the North, and down into a Mexico on the brink of a full-scale civil war.
