Red Dead Redemption 2 has multiple special editions

4.3

Rockstar has confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to launch in more than one special edition.

Although Rockstar games typically don’t have a host of special editions, it looks like Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to have at least one.

Special editions are typically more expensive versions that include digital, and sometimes physical, little additions. These could take the form of posters, figurines, or in-game DLC such as what you see in Ubisoft games.

More information about said special editions, and Red Dead Redemption 2 in general, will be announced in June. Rockstar left this tiny tease at the end of a blog post revealing new screenshots from the game, which we covered last week.

E3 takes place in June, of course, so Rockstar could be alluding to the trade show as the next time we’re going to be finding out more about the game. That said, the developer doesn’t usually have a presence at E3 the way you expect others to.

What we could see is a Rockstar representative taking Sony’s stage to announce a special edition or some exclusive DLC. Rockstar already confirmed PS4 players will get exclusive in-game items in Red Dead Redemption 2’s online mode, and our first look at it may be Sony’s E3 conference.

A PS4 bundle is also possible, since Rockstar did a similar thing prior to the launch of GTA 5, taking the stage to announce a GTA 5 PS4 bundle.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out October 26 on PS4, and Xbox One.

Silky Only really ever get the standard editions of games as either most stuff you can later get with progession or it's not worth the extra cash.

I usually like the collectors editions for games, because I enjoy having a collection of items for that game in real life. But they can cost a lot more, aha.

I'll have too see what is offered this time around. I can see a small statue or something, but we'll see..A cowboy hat with Rockstar logo or something could be good.

I would expect to see this from a game this big. Probably going to be 5 or 6 different packages, one with a console hopefully...? Would be awesome.

I can't wait to see these special editions hopefully it's something worth wild and I'm curious if they're going to have a statue this time because usually they don't.
