Red Dead Redemption heads for April News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Oli Welsh

26 November, 2009

Update: The Red Dead Redemption trailer has ridden into town a week early, confirming a release date of 27th April. That's a Tuesday, so we're likely to get either a worldwide simultaneous launch or a European release on 29th April.

The spilled video can be found on PlayStation Pure (via VG247).

Original story: Rockstar has announced that Western sequel Red Dead Redemption will be released in April next year. It wasn't more specific than that.

The developer also said that there will be a new trailer next week, on 1st December, called "My Name is John Marston". Trust Rockstar to hype its hype.

Red Dead Redemption is part of a packed first half of 2010 for publisher 2K, joining Bioshock 2 (February), Mafia II and Rockstar's own Max Payne 3.

The open-world oater is for Xbox 360 and PS3. It's set at the turn of the 20th century and follows the tale of former outlaw Marston as he's recruited in muddy circumstances by the government Bureau.

Rockstar's largely been keeping the game under its Stetson so far - rewind to our May preview to learn everything we know.

Besides Gran Turismo 5, Red Dead Redemption is about the only 2010 Playstation 3 game im interested in. Sure hope the Playstation 3 does not recieve some dodgy X360 port.

/remembers moment during Grand Theft Auto 4, while standing on a station platform, watching a distant tower block grow slowly skywards.

Roll on April, then. Loved the recent Call of Juarez sequel and this looks even better.

@wile_coyote 3D Dot Game Heroes, MAG, Heavy Rain or God Of War 3 not float your boat at all?

theres a good deal of difference between them, so i would have thought that something might grab you :P

@designerheadache Oops! Heavy Rain I have an eye on. Ultimately, reviews will decide the deal. It should be good though.

Looking forward to this, COJ was ok but was seriously lacking in GTA World stuff... from the bits Ive seen this game is looking very promising.

Mafia 2 and Red Dead, jeez give us a break 2k. I know what I'm saving my christmas bonus for.

I can see Max Payne 3 getting pushed back, as we haven't seen that much of it. I can't remember 2 Rockstar games being put out so close together.

looks fantastic - like a proper western with the usual R* humour and adult themes. Can't wait.

Hey, EG, when you're writing these release date new items, does it ever occur to you to go and update the Release Dates part of your website? The "Autumn 2009" section, in particular, looks like complete fiction now.

Just a thought.
