Rockstar has revealed their plans for Red Dead Online, the multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2.
“The first is that even though Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online share the same gameplay mechanics and geography, we see them essentially as separate products that will grow and evolve independently of each other.
According to Rockstar’s Senior Producer in their San Diego office, Josh Needleman, Red Dead Online will combine the team’s “favorite elements from Grand Theft Auto Online” with “all of the elements we liked from the old Red Dead Redemption multiplayer.”
While included in the price of Red Dead 2, the online mode won’t launch until it enters a public beta in November 2018.
