Oh wow, Rockstar's at it again. Following Sunday's teaser image over on Twitter, the developer's pumped out another picture today that, as far as we're concerned, confirms that this project will be a Red Dead title.
Featuring silhouettes of seven characters against a blood red sunset, we could be looking at a Magnificent Seven-inspired Wild West adventure. Simply put, we can't wait to see more.
What do you make of this? Reach for your revolver in the comments section below.

Hype.
And before anyone says it, yes, we know it probably won't be called "Red Dead Redemption 2". It's in the headline because that's what people type into Google. No one types "Red Dead sequel". Just saying!
Oh yeah! Please 7 magnificent!
@ShogunRok Bu-bu-bu-but you do realise that actually Red Dead Revolver was the first in the series so technically this is Red Dead 3, right? Just correcting you in case you didn't realise.
NANTS INGONYAMA BAGITHI KJDSFHKJSBABA!
Ps4 pro launch title?
I can't that image without whistling the main song song from the good bad and the ugly
This looks like it'll have a heavy focus on multiplayer due to GTA Online's success. I do prefer the idea of a Magnificent 7 style game where you build your gang/crew but getting into shootout with your buddies could be a heap of fun if they put enough into it
HYPE!!!!
Red Dead Redemption is without a doubt (and don't say no because I'll puch you in the face ) the best Rockstar game! Glorious, show me the game!!!
Ooooh Awesome to make it something like the first young guns movie...i think we will get a trailer soon, the game should be quite a way into development by now.
Magnificent 7 movie tie in licensed shovelware lgi!
I don't get the hype. I know, sacrilege, get out and insta ban but...most of what Rockstar does bores the ever living hell out of me. I can only play GTA so many times.
Speaking of GTA, GTA Wild West anyone?
WE NEED THE BENZ!!!!
Think it's a new IP...
It's named...
O.K. CORRAL
Oh man, this is going to be really good, isn't it?
Best news ever on a Monday morning. So excited!
Prequel please...i didnt finish red dead redemption but wasn't it 1911 or around that time when it finished?...cowboys were just about done by then so a prequel would be a safe bet, take it back a good few years to when cowboys were more relevant and the figures in the pic definitely have a older style cowboy look to them(on a side note to rockstar, please make a red dead redemption type game but set in medieval Japan...samurai,ronin,castles feuding lords...thank you)
Well, I for one am thrilled by this.
@teknium_ Yeah, RDR took place when the Wild West was dying out, so it wouldn't quite fit to have a game that takes place after that - not if we want cowboys and shootouts and all that Western movie stuff.
@ShogunRok I may be wrong but don't Rockstar tend to begin marketing their games quite far into production (unlike most developers/publishers)? If so, when do you think we'll see it released? By the end of this financial year would seem logical..?
I do not tend to like cowboy related tv but red dead redemption was a decent game and now we have Westworld on TV which again is enjoyable. But guess there will not be robots in this game.
@dryrain
Now there's an expansion idea: "RDR: Ai Nightmare"
This will probably be the one to make me upgrade to a Pro. RDR was my favourite title from last gen. This is stellar news.
So a prequel about the old gang? Can't wait!
That's what I'm talking about. Never been a fan of the "Wild West" until I played RDR. What a cracking game.
@get2sammyb Hey, not everyone knows that, including journalists. We all know research is last on the priority list behind clickbait
@itshoggie
I hope it centres around Dutch's gang too. I can see it utilising GTAV's character switching system too.. The multiplayer posse's.. New & improved dead-eye mechanics.. bloody hell this is gonna ruin my life.
@GAMINGLORY that sounds like Rick Grimes agreeing with his son.
I've never played any of the previous games (no PS3), but I'm usually on board for anything Western-themed. That. plus this series reputation has me interested.
@Mergatro1d I think if this is what we're all hoping - a typical Rockstar open world game - then I could see it getting a March-April 2017 release date. I think 2016 is packed enough as it is. That said... if anyone could launch a currently unannounced game this year it'd be Rockstar.
@Kidfried People only do it because they're smart arses and want to try and prove they know more than everyone else.
Trailer please.
Prequel featuring John Marston's gang? Wonder if they will announce it soon then first gameplay at PSX.
I can see it now, glorious sunsets behind mountainous valleys akin to those in the Alamo Sea from GTAV.
Let the hype begin! (even though it's been building for years!
I'm game for it. I got Red Dead Redemption this summer and I enjoyed it! Well, ending aside anyway..... I honestly enjoyed Red Dead over any GTA title, so I'll be looking forward to when this is formally announced.
I wasn't excited for this. . .until now! BRIIING IT OOOOOOONN!!!!
Oh my god! Tramampoline!!!!! Trambompoline!!!!
Oh boy - a magnificent seven inspired Red Dead! Be still my beating heart!
oO man this is gonna be amazing!! I'm so Hyped right now!!
I can go for a new Red Dead game. It's happening
If the plot isn't an 86 year old clint eastwood hunting down a dirty sheriff and his 6 deputies that shot his dog in cold blood I won't buy it.
@Grawlog We need to call it something until it's given a proper title, though. Red Dead Redemption 2 makes the most sense until it's named otherwise. Everyone understands what that's referring to.
Bully 2 when?
The Moderate Seven?
HYPE! Not really a wild west person myself but rdr made me understand its appeal! Could this be revealed with the NX? The timing seems right but strange pairing... I could see it coming with the PRO announcement but it didn't.

I loved Red Dead Redemption in a way I never did with GTA. Just riding a horse into town was just awesome. I hope it isn't just multiplayer though.
