New Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, details released

Rockstar Games has revealed more about its hotly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2, which has been confirmed as a prequel to the beloved 2010 game.

The second official trailer gives fans more of an insight into the narrative of the game, which will put them in the role of Arthur Morgan.

Rockstar describes it as: "The story of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they rob, fight and steal their way across the vast and rugged heart of America in order to survive."

The Van der Linde gang was also known as Dutch's Gang in Red Dead Redemption.

Various environments of the Old West are showcased in the trailer including prairies, pine forests, snowy mountains, crocodile-infested swamps and, of course, outlaw-infested towns.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
