Rockstar unveiled a deluge of new details about its highly anticipated open-world game, Red Dead Redemption 2. As part of the big information blowout, we unfortunately didn’t get a new trailer, but the developer did release more than two-dozen new screenshots from the upcoming western. These showcase protagonist Arthur Morgan, some of the other characters you’ll encounter, and the stunning environments you and the Van der Linde gang will trek through on your adventure across the American frontier.

The first set of images, which you can take a look at below, show off Morgan and various other members of the Van der Linde gang doing shooty things and riding horses across numerous and varied gorgeous outdoor and indoor environments. Click through the images in the gallery to see all of the newly released shots, and be sure to click each picture to bring it up in full size.

In this next wave of screenshots, Rockstar really shows off its attention to detail. This lead image of the revolver showcases its intricate design, while you’ll see in one of the other images that horses in Red Dead Redemption 2 look stunningly realistic and all-around really, really good.

And in this final wave of new images, we see more of Arthur and company blasting enemies and another shot of Arthur on his horse overlooking a town in the distance.

Red Dead Redemption 2 News And Details

Like Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar’s next big open-world adventure, Red Dead Redemption 2, will feature a sprawling online component titled Red Dead Online. The mode will launch as a public beta this fall, and judging by the level of support GTA Online has enjoyed, it will likely receive a regular stream of updates for a long time to come. With a second open-world multiplayer game to support now, fans may wonder if GTA Online’s updates will slow down, but Rockstar assures this won’t be the case.

In an interview with IGN, Rockstar North director of design Imran Sarwar said the developer still intends to support GTA V’s online mode after Red Dead Online arrives. “We still have big plans for Grand Theft Auto Online and we will continue to roll out updates for the foreseeable future,” Sarwar said.

To avoid competition between its two big online games, Sarwar says Rockstar hopes to “stagger” updates for each one out so that players will be able to keep up with both, but there may be some overlap. “We vaguely plan to stagger the updates of both games so that players can switch between the two, but our development plans may not always allow this!” Sarwar said.

Rockstar still hasn’t revealed many details about Red Dead Online. According to the studio, the mode is “an evolution of the classic multiplayer experience in the original Red Dead Redemption, blending narrative with competitive and cooperative gameplay in fun new ways.” The public beta will go live sometime this November; those who own Red Dead Redemption 2 will be able to jump in for free, although the studio warns “there will inevitably be some turbulence at launch” given the scale of the endeavor.

Red Dead Redemption 2 launches for PS4 and Xbox One next month, on October 26. Rockstar recently shared some new screenshots of the game, as well as some new details about its sprawling world.

Red Dead Redemption 2 News And Details

The untitled 25th James Bond movie has been delayed. Previously scheduled to arrive in theatres in late 2019, the movie is now pegged to arrive on February 14, 2020. That’s Valentine’s Day.

The movie is being directed by True Detective and Beasts of No Nation director Cary Fukunaga, who is the first American and second non-white person to direct a Bond film. No reason was provided for the delay, but it likely has to do with director Danny Boyle dropping out. Presumably extra time was needed for Fukunaga to get up to speed.

The 25th Bond movie starts filming at Pinewood Studios on March 4, 2019.

Daniel Craig returns to play Bond for a fifth and final time for the new movie. Other casting and plot details have not been announced, but keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan, who played the villain Killmonger in Marvel’s hit, has signed on to play a role in the upcoming Rainbow Six movie and another Tom Clancy film.

According to Variety, Jordan will play John Clark in the movies based on Clancy’s books Rainbow Six and Without Remorse. The Without Remorse movie is coming first, as it is an origin story for the character, with the Rainbow Six film landing later.

Studio Paramount is now reportedly taking meetings with potential directors and writers for the Without Remorse film, so it sounds like it’s still very early days. There is no word on other cast members or a release date.

The character John Clark has appeared in Tom Clancy movies before. He was played by Willem Dafoe in Clear and Present Danger, while Liev Schreiber played him in The Sum of All Fears.

A Splinter Cell movie, also based on Clancy’s work, is in development as well; Tom Hardy is set to appear as Sam Fisher in that film.

Other Clancy books that have been turned into films include The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games, and NetForce. More recently, John Krasinski played the famous Clancy character Jack Ryan in a new Amazon TV series.
