Forgoing a fall release to get it right for next-gen consoles, RDR2 won’t go on sale until next spring.

Gamers won’t be left high and dry until next spring, however. Rockstar plans to share more details about Red Dead Redemption 2 this summer and also released new screenshots of the game today, which you can view in the gallery below:

There’s no word if the first Red Dead Redemption’s protagonist, John Marston, will make a return, but Rockstar has promised a “brand new online multiplayer experience.”
