Red Dead Redemption 2, a game which is quickly shaping up to be the most anticipated title of 2019, won’t be out in September. Announced yesterday, developer Rockstar Games shifted the September release date slightly to October 26.

Almost entirely expected, Rockstar has delayed Red Dead Redemption 2. The western sequel will now launch in 2018.
