Rockstar Games has once again delayed Red Dead Redemption 2. While this delay is surely disappointing to Red Dead’s many fans, the publisher has promised that the highly-anticipated prequel will be released on October 26, 2018.

According to Rockstar, Red Dead Redemption 2 needs “a little extra time for polish”:

We apologize to everyone disappointed by this delay. While we had hoped to have the game out sooner, we require a little extra time for polish.

We sincerely thank you for your patience and hope that when you get to play the game, you will agree the wait will have been worth it.

Rockstar further apologized by releasing a handful of new screenshots for Red Dead Redemption 2. You can find them at the publisher’s official website.

However… excuse the hokey wordplay… but they might be turning a corner this year.

Nintendo has said they’ll release Mario Kart Tour for mobile devices sometime during their next financial year (April 2018 – March 2019). No other details about the game were announced, but Nintendo has promised to reveal more information about the kart racer in the coming months.
