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. Includes Red Dead Redemption II: Story Mode and Red Dead Online.

What is happening now

Red Dead Redemption II: Ultimate Edition is an open-world action-adventure that blends shooter mechanics with deep role-playing elements, set across a richly detailed recreation of the American frontier. Released in 2018, the game has maintained a strong presence in the gaming conversation, particularly around its narrative depth and character work. Recent attention has focused on the craftsmanship behind protagonist Arthur Morgan's portrayal, with actor Roger Clark's performance during the game's extensive five-year development informed by authentic physical experience - he contracted numerous colds throughout recording, which lent genuine illness physicality to Arthur's later arc. The game continues to influence new projects in the open-world space, with emerging titles drawing inspiration from Red Dead's design philosophy and presentation style.
