If you’re eagerly anticipating Red Dead Redemption 2, we have good news and bad news.

The bad news is that it’s coming later than the expected “spring 2018” window (that is, if you consider a delay bad news, which is quite debatable), but the good news is that Rockstar just announced a firm release date.

We will finally be able to ride into the sunset on October 26th, 2018, which is basically two seasons after the previous window.

The motivation for the delay is the usual, with Rockstar requiring “extra time for polish.” We also get an apology for the delay, thanks for the patience, and a bonus batch of screenshots, that you can enjoy at the bottom of the post.

The announcement also mentions that “a lot more information” about the game will be shared in the coming weeks, so the goodies don’t end here.

Dear All,

We are excited to announce that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on October 26th 2018. We apologize to everyone disappointed by this delay. While we had hoped to have the game out sooner, we require a little extra time for polish.

We sincerely thank you for your patience and hope that when you get to play the game, you will agree the wait will have been worth it. In the meantime, please check out these screenshots from the game. We look forward to sharing a lot more information with you in the coming weeks.

With thanks,
Rockstar Games
