"Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West" will finally be available this October. Multiple sources confirmed that Rockstar is planning to launch the game in the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this June.
According to Master Herald, the game developers are feeling much pressure to live up to its predecessors, "Read Dead Redemption" and "Red Dead Redemption Undead." Given that multiple critics have given the aforementioned video games 5-star ratings, it is not hard to imagine that Rockstar wanted to achieve the same feat.

Some insiders claim that Rockstar is almost done developing "Read Dead Redemption 2" and were just ironing out a few details in order to give its fan an unparalleled gaming experience.
It has been rumored that the game will be set in Japan, which many pointed out was quite unbelievable given the "Read Dead" franchise's Western theme. The outlet held that the sequel will mostly like be set in the eastern part of the US such as Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Denver, South Dakota and Mexico.
Apart from the stunning graphics, what hooked most of the players was the games' addictive storyline, especially for those who are fans of this genre. They also lauded Rockstar for coming up with such an earnest game in the sea of flashy cars and provocative women.
"The game not only shows a world of the past, but also makes the player reflect the times we live in now. An exceptional achievement for a game," critic Gamer.nl posted on Metacritic.
Many added that the could not get enough of how good "Red Dead Redemption" was, with some claiming that it was the best game Rockstar developed - even better than "Grand Theft Auto."
