Rockstar Games has today announced that Red Dead Redemption is scheduled for an autumn 2009 release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Developed by Rockstar San Diego, Red Dead Redemption is the follow up to the 2004 hit game, Red Dead Revolver.
Red Dead Redemption is described as a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. Players will take control of former outlaw, John Marston, and must adventure across the American frontier to help bring the rule of law.
“The team at San Diego have massively exceeded our expectations with the sheer depth of experiences in Red Dead Redemption,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing. We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be.”
The game has been created using Rockstar’s proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), and features an open-world environment for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teeming with wildlife and perilous mountain passes.
Red Dead Redemption is scheduled for release this autumn for Xbox 360 and PS3.
