This is the map you’ll be playing in Red Dead Redemption 2

By Hugh Langley

Update: After its map leaked back in April we’ve finally had official confirmation that Red Dead Redemption 2 is real and it’s coming at the end of next year. Check out our Red Dead Redemption 2 hub for all the latest news about the upcoming game.

The map for Rockstar’s upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 has leaked online, and been confirmed by our own independent source.

The map was posted to NeoGaf by someone claiming to have received it from a source, before hastily pulling it down. But this being the internet, the map had already been immortalised, although many commenters questioned its legitimacy.

A source close to the development of the new Red Dead game has now confirmed to us that the map is indeed the real deal, revealing that this is a “very recent” art direction map for the upcoming title.

They also confirmed that the game will be set before the events of Redemption, and that the new map is just east of the one that featured in Red Dead Redemption.
