'Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West' Release Date Set For October? Better Story Than 'GTA'

The rumors about the second installment of the "Red Dead Redemption" game would not seem to die down. Fans have reason to believe that Rockstar is preparing for the much anticipated release of the video game.

That may happen anytime soon after a report from Christian Post stated that "Red Dead Redemption 2" will be unveiled at the E3 event or Electronic Entertainment Expo this June in Las Vegas, Nevada. If the speculation proves to be true, the expected release in the market will be in October. Rockstar really knows how to build up the hype of a big release as the excitement of the fans increases in every speculation or rumor that circulates.

The release of the original "Red Dead Redemption" was in 2011 and fans have been waiting for the next part for almost five years. They think that years of game development is too much these days.

Although there is still no official announcement from Rockstar with regard to the game, fans are expecting for it to be launched this year. The game is certainly making its way to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC this year, Master Herald reported.

The success of the 2011 "Red Dead Redemption" came as a surprise for Rockstar. Reports are saying that the New York-based game developer is said to be under pressure to match or surpass the accomplishments of the game. Fans expect "Red Dead Redemption 2" to have a better storyline and gameplay when it comes out, and it puts the game developer in a position where they have to exert extra effort to meet those expectations.

Meanwhile, Cross Map reported of a possible Japan setting of "Red Dead Redemption 2." However, critics are skeptic if this will ever happen because it takes out the Old West feel of the game. What they are sure of though is the expansion of the game in the East.

The setting of "Red Dead Redemption" was in the Western part of the country and Crossmap has already secured some states that will be included in the sequel. The expansion will include Utah, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Dakota, Rocky Mountains and Mexico. Nevertheless, the news outlet is positive that Rockstar will unveil some other maps included in the next installment once they announce the release.

Many fans claimed that the storyline of "Red Dead Redemption" was better than "Grand Theft Auto", calling it as the best game from Rockstar. Reports are saying that "Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West" is expected to become the best game ever once it comes out.
