Rockstar's pumped out new Red Dead Redemption 2 details, this time giving a brief overview of hunting and fishing. There are a few new screenshots, too, so we've embedded them throughout the article.
It goes without saying, but hunting is going to be a key component of Red Dead Redemption 2. By tracking down animals and killing them, you'll be rewarded with skins and meat. You can sell your bits and pieces at general stores or to butchers, with high quality goods netting your more cash. If that feels like a bit of a waste, you can instead donate them to your outlaw camp so that your allies remain well fed.
Fishing appears to work in a similar way. Apparently different fish will chomp at different bait, so it pays to be prepared. Much like hunting, you can acquire materials and meat from fishing. It should provide a relaxing little diversion after a long day of killing things.
Rockstar says that there are around 200 animal species in Red Dead Redemption 2, so the open world should be nicely populated. Just watch out for those bloody cougars.

I'm ready to hammer X to reel in.
Whoa.. look amazing while hunting animals
@Quintumply Hammer X to run. Hammer X to cast your line. Hammer X to reel. Hammer X to skin. Hammer X to cook. Hammer X to take a dump.
It's annoying in GTA Online when you hammer x to leg it but forget that your phone is still out so you accidentally accept a heist job with strangers. D'oh!
Anyway, I really can't wait for RDR2. I loved hunting and skinning animals in the first game.
Hopefully fishing can be fun, I didn't like it in ff15 or in mhw. But im really excited about hunting. Spent a lot of time with that on the last game.
@ShogunRok GAME OF THE GENERATION
With all these side activities,nobody will be finishing the story anytime soon,lol !
@ShogunRok i’m here to mindlessly bash a button and watch cool things happen. It’s my favorite kind of gaming, and why MGS4 is the best MGS ever!
@LaNooch1978 Lmao
@Wesker Broken thumbs all round, it's the mark of a true gamer.
I remember those cougars, instant kill monsters ...
I never got into hunting in the first game, but if the game-world is really nice and there's a good reason to collect money (i.e. lots of cool stuff to buy), I might enjoy this stuff. In the first game there just wasn't much to spend your money on, so there wasn't enough reason to hunt. Besides, doing the bounties were more fun anyway.
My friend is obsessed with getting this game. I don’t know why but it leaves me quite unimpressed. Waiting for something I haven’t seen before.
Stand alone PSVR fishing game when? 😁
Hopefully we can remap the controls in game or even on. PS4 system in a satisfying way.
Like L3 to sprint?
Catches fish
Please don't tell me we actually have to catch all those fishes... I'd rather spend few € and buy them on the PS store!
@ShogunRok Hammer X to move a frame in a cutscene
After Horizon and Spider-Man this game seems kind of dull to me.
I'm fine with hunting/fishing, just as long as you don't have to do it all the time to keep your outlaw camp alive. I enjoyed Fallout 4's settlements; bur the settlers completely lacked self-sufficiency. I don't want the outlaws being similarly high-maintenance, lazy and ungrateful..
