A few weeks ago, Rockstar Games revealed Red Dead Redemption 2 's long-awaited gameplay. While the footage blew everyone away, many gamers asked the studio to provide more details about the characters. Luckily, the team did just that and now we know a lot more about the individuals who will be part of the experience. You can read abridged biographies of the gang members below.

Red Dead Redemption 2 tells a personal story. After a robbery goes wrong in the town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal, and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals or loyalty to the gang who raised him.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Director of Art at Rockstar North Aaron Garbut said the following.

We've aimed to capture a wide slice of American life in 1899, a rapidly industrializing nation that would soon have its sights on the world's stage — and would do whatever possible to 'modernize.' It's a brutal landscape with a sordid history, but also one that's full of opportunity. One of the most satisfying aspects of creating a world of such scope and scale is the ability to experience a whole range of stories and characters in your journey across that world. The gang's journey and the game's epic scope makes room to touch on all aspects of turn of the century America in a meaningful, substantial way.

Red Dead Redemption 2 should launch on October 26, 2018 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 systems. The game is targeting "4K Ultra HD" resolution on Xbox One X.
