UPDATE: Red Dead Redemption 2 Online’s release date has been partly revealed by Rockstar.
The Red Dead 2 Online release date has been pushed back until the end of November, according to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.
Speaking to investors, Zelnick said: “It’s way too early to talk about Red Dead Redemption 2 Online, it hasn’t released yet.
“It will launch in public beta towards the end of the month and Rockstar will have a lot more to say about it. We’re not making any current predictions.”
ORIGINAL: Red Dead 2 Online’s 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?

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,…
