Red Dead Redemption coming to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 this month
One of Rockstar Games’ most beloved games is making its way to modern consoles next week.
Announced today, Red Dead Redemption and the expansion pack Undead Nightmare will land on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on August 17. The port is being delivered by Double Eleven Studios, who previously worked on Fallout 76, Minecraft Dungeons, and Crackdown 3. The game will be available for $49.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop and PlayStation Store with physical releases dropping on October 13.
A synopsis for the game reads:
One of the most critically acclaimed games of all time with over 170 Game of the Year Awards, Red Dead Redemption tells the story of former outlaw John Marston as he journeys across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico to track down the last remaining members of the notorious Van der Linde Gang in a bid to save his family. Relive, or experience for the first time, the events immediately following the epic tale of honor and loyalty in the 2018 blockbuster Red Dead Redemption 2 as Marston hunts down his former friends and outlaws Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella, and his former gang leader, Dutch van der Linde as the era of the cowboy comes to its end.
Red Dead Redemption sold over 15 million copies and earned a slew of accolades, including Action Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards.
