Our Take
Red Dead Redemption 2 was already our most anticipated title of the year. Hearing how extensive and deep the world and multiplayer are only makes us that much more excited. While a Battle Royale style multiplayer mode doesn’t surprise us too much, as we expect it to surface in many other games moving forward, the details around the free roam and world development sound incredible. It certainly sounds like Rockstar is going to shock the gaming industry yet again.
