(Pocket-lint) - We've been waiting more than eight years for a proper Red Dead Redemption sequel and the wait is almost over. It will be released tomorrow, on disc and digital download. Huzzah! Here then is everything you need to know about Red Dead Redemption 2, including a myriad of trailers - with extensive gameplay explainers and clips. When first announced at the tail end of 2016 the game was scheduled for a "fall 2017" release. That then slipped to "spring 2018", with Rockstar finally settling on Friday 26 October 2018: "We sincerely thank you for your patience and hope that when you get to play the game, you will agree the wait will have been worth it." The game will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. There are currently no known plans for a Windows PC version but fans have been petitioning Rockstar since the initial announcement. There was never a PC version of the original Red Dead Redemption, although the studio did release a Windows version of Grand Theft Auto V two years after that game appeared on Xbox 360 and PS3.
