Following delays, Rockstar Games has this week announced the official release date for Red Dead Redemption 2. The game is now set to arrive October 26 of this year.

In a coinciding statement, Rockstar insists, "When you get to play the game, you will agree the wait will have been worth it."

You can also look forward to additional information arriving within the coming weeks, but until then, the company has shared a number of screenshots from the game.

Read Dead Redemption 2 centers around outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they rob, fight, and steal in order to survive their journey across America.

In related news, Nintendo has confirmed there will be an animated Mario movie.
