The Red Dead 2 Online release date can’t come soon enough, as players finish the single-player story campaign.
The Red Dead Redemption 2 Online beta has been given a November release date on PS4 and Xbox One.
If it follows the same pattern as GTA 5 Online – which launched two weeks after the release of GTA 5 – then the Red Dead 2 Online beta could have a November 9 release date, although this seems less likely as the days go by.
Based on a previous leak, Red Dead 2 Online could launch with a Battle Royale mode to rival Fortnite.
That’s according to a report published by Trusted Reviews, which also correctly stated that Red Dead Redemption 2 would feature a first-person mode and that it would launch alongside a companion app.
The report – which was “sourced from a confidential corporate document” – has since been replaced with an apology, and Trusted Reviews has agreed to pay over £1 million to charity.
But if Red Dead Redemption 2 does have a Battle Royale mode – and fingers crossed that it does – will this spell the end for something like Fortnite?
Let us know whether you think Epic Games could be in trouble by completing the poll below…
While Battle Royale is yet to be confirmed, we do know is that Red Dead Redemption 2 is described as an “evolution of the classic multiplayer experience in the original Red Dead Redemption”.
It’s said to blend narrative with competitive and co-op gameplay, so expect an experience similar to GTA Online.
Rockstar explains more: “Using the gameplay of the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 as a foundation, Red Dead Online will be ready to be explored alone or with friends, and will also feature constant updates and adjustments to grow and evolve this experience for all players.
“Red Dead Online is planned for launch in November 2018, initially as a public beta, with more news to come soon.”
A list of potential Red Dead 2 Online mission types has also been leaked ahead of the release.
Red Dead 2 will reportedly include Deathmatch, Race, Survival, Capture, Last Team Standing and Parachuting.
There’s also reports that players will be able to explore a brand new area, after fans found a way to visit a new location in the main game.
With Red Dead 2 Online about to launch, we won’t have very long to wait in order to find out.
