All Articles: Red Dead Redemption 2

Multiple nominations for Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man, and God of War will make this year’s Game Awards an EPIC event

gameawards-statueIt’s been a big year for super-sized games like Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 and Sony Santa Monica’s God of War, and it looks like they’ll be front and center (alongside a few other epic titles) at this year’s Game Awards show on December 6.

Rockstar’s western and Sony’s Norse fable tied for the most nominations (eight apiece), and they’ll both be competing for “Game of the Year” against Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Insomniac’s Spider-Man, Capcom’s Monster Hunter: World, and Matt Thorson’s Celeste.

This year, fans will be able to make their voices heard in the balloting by joining the official The Game Awards Discord server, and voting for their favorites in all categories. Voting through the Discord server is now open and will be available through December 5.

The Game Awards will kick off at 9:00 PM (Eastern Time) on December 6, and fans can watch the show through their favorite video streaming service or at TheGameAwards.com. As usual, we can also expect to see “exclusive game world premieres” and “new game announcements.”

The full list of nominees can be found after the break.

New Retail Releases: Red Dead Redemption 2, Just Dance 2019, More

After almost a decade of waiting, it’s finally time to hop on your horse and ride along the dusty trails and gleaming train tracks of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2. The Wild West prequel will be available in stores for the PS4 and Xbox One later this week, and while you might think that most game publishers would avoid going head-to-head with the highly-anticipated new entry in the famed franchise… you’d be wrong.

Well, sort of.

Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2019 serves as a perfect bit of counterprogramming to Rockstar’s cowboy epic, and the latest addition to the series will be available on the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, as well as the PS3, Wii, Wii U, and Xbox 360.

But the rest of this week’s new retail releases are mostly a smattering of smaller games from smaller publishers. Nickelodeon Kart Racers will let fans drive for the finish line as their Nickelodeon characters. A different kind of driving skill is required for Spintires: Mudrunner – American Wilds Edition. And Bandai Namco will launch My Hero One’s Justice, the first game based on the My Hero Academia anime. All three games will be available for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.

A complete look at this week’s new retail releases can be found after the break. (more…)

The Games of October 2018

The Fall is in full swing here in Warp Zoned’s northerly headquarters, and that means Apple Cider, Pumpkin Spice, a lot of talk about the leaves, and plenty of new video games. There are so many games set to launch this month, but one stands out head and shoulders above all the rest… I’m talking, of course, about Just Dance 2019.

Nah, it’s actually Rockstar’s latest magnum opus, Red Dead Redemption 2. You know you’re doing something right when you’re a developer with multiple magnum opuses (opusii?). And that is definitely the case with Rockstar and their newest trip back to the American West.

But there are other games we’re excited for this month, and you can read all about them after the break. (more…)

Rockstar unveils the first Gameplay Trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2

Can you believe that Red Dead Redemption 2‘s release date is less than three months away?

But though Rockstar’s upcoming prequel was first unveiled all the way back in 2016, we’ve only seen a handful of trailers for the game, and none of them contained any gameplay footage. That all changed today, as the developer released Red Dead Redemption 2’s first Gameplay Trailer.

At six minutes, the video is epic in scope, and it introduces prospective players to Arthur Morgan’s world and the outlaws who’ll populate it. Rockstar also promised that more trailers would be released between now and the game’s launch, with the next one focusing on Missions.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One on October 26.

Rockstar releases third trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2

As promised, Rockstar Games has released the third trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as a few more details about the game’s story:

America, 1899.

The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed.

After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One on October 26. And hopefully, we’ll learn quite a bit more about it as the 2018 E3 Expo approaches.

Red Dead Redemption 2 release delayed again to October 26, 2018

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.
