RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 GENRE: ACT/ADV PLATFORM: PS4/XBO RELEASE: 26/10/18 MULTIPLAYER: NO Rockstar is back and ready to return to the Wild West with its critically-acclaimed Red Dead series. Red Dead Redemption 2 forms a prequel story with a rich narrative and centres around new protagonist, Arthur Morgan, a member of the outlaw Van der Linde gang. It’s an expansive open world that monumentally builds on the previous title, adding an abundance of new features to keep gamers engaged. The world is seamless, allowing Morgan the option of exploring alone or with

the gang and undertaking a vast array of missions. And once you’re done there, the online world is waiting. Book your time off now!

This is the first new gen game world that Rockstar has built from the ground up.
