Like its predecessor, Redemption will be set in the Wild West at the turn of the 20th century. Naturally, lots of crime will be happening, as lawlessness begins to falter thanks to government expansion and the beginning of the Industrial Age. Players will take control of former outlaw, John Marston, as he no doubt attempts to foil some sort of evildoer. We expect there will be lots of shooting involved.
The game is in development at Rockstar San Diego, who are in the process of creating a Wild West-themed open world using the company's RAGE engine for players to explore. There will be towns, 'rolling prairies' (complete with wildlife) and an awful lot of distractions in between, apparently.
Red Dead Redemption is scheduled for a release in the third quarter of this year. We've thrown the first images from the game into the media panel, if you're interested.
