Rockstar has taken the wraps off its Red Dead Redemption sequel, titled Red Dead Redemption 2.

Rockstar continued its slow drip of Red Dead teasers today, this time with a title: Red Dead Redemption 2.

The updated tweet included a release date of fall 2017. But the teases aren't quite done, because it also promises that a trailer will be coming this Thursday at 11 AM ET.

Following a red background dropped over the weekend that started the Internet buzzing, the company yesterday released an image showing seven silhouettes, bringing to mind the Magnificent Seven. A sequel or remaster to Red Dead Redemption has been rumored for quite some time, especially after appearing on an artist's resume.

The original Red Dead Redemption has been one of the most requested games for Xbox One's backwards compatability, and even popped up by mistake before it was ready for full distribution. It became officially backwards compatible in July of this year.

      So if this is a sequel does that mean no Marsden? Or will it actually be a prequel from the time period when Marsden was in the gang? Patrick and Austin were speculating on their podcast that this would be a prequel to the events of RDR.

        I hope it's a prequel or at least the same time frame. The world was starting to modernize already in RDR so I'm not sure how much they could move the time frame up without losing the wild west charm.

        Prequel focusing on the gang would make sense based on the art work so far.

        They must be far along in development now and are using the same tech they used in GTA 5. I think Fall 17 is going to be a safe bet.

      I never beat the original, mainly because my PS3 was stolen and returned to me 8 months later when the cops found it. Its a solid game though, only got to Mexico. I might just read up on what happens at the end, I kinda know already.

        Except everyone was thinking that's what they'd do the first time, and we know what happened in that case.
