Rockstar Games has released a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most anticipated video games of the year.

The game, which will be out on October 26, is a prequel to 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, a western set in 1911 that followed the ill-fated outlaw John Marston in his attempts to redeem himself in the eyes of the law. Red Dead Redemption 2 stars Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang that played a pivotal role in the first game’s storyline. It is set in 1899, and the new trailer shows the gang on the run as the West becomes less wild.

Rockstar Games most recently released Grand Theft Auto V in 2013, which has just become the single most profitable entertainment product of all time according to analysts at MarketWatch. Originally made for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, it was remastered for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014, and released on PC in 2015. It still regularly places in the top 10 in the UK video game sales charts and has sold a cumulative total of over 90m.

Rockstar was awarded Bafta Fellowship in 2014. The company’s co-founders, Sam Houser and Dan Houser, made a rare public appearance to collect the award.
