Due to the fact that many major fall releases are just a few short months away from hitting store shelves, industry analysts have been studying data to predict which forthcoming title will end up as one of the potential top ten best-selling games of 2018, and it should come as little surprise that Red Dead Redemption 2 is in the lead. While some folks are understandably focusing on the business side of things, gamers themselves are surely just eager to get their hands on the open world Western title, and in order to help them out when they do, Rockstar Games has now released RDR2's Complete Official Guide.
Starting today, Red Dead Redemption 2's Complete Official Guide is available at the Rockstar Warehouse and other retailers as a pre-order item, with game's developer describing the product as "the essential companion to the upcoming release". According to the video game developer, the guide is set to contain "information about every aspect" of what the studio touts as "the deepest and most detailed Rockstar world yet".
Rockstar Games is also offering Red Dead Redemption 2's Complete Official Guide in a couple of different versions to better cater to all players, with the guide coming in both a Standard Edition and a Collector's Edition. The Standard Edition will contain "information about every mission, character and feature" of RDR2, with it also containing "at-a-glance walkthrough, dedicated maps chapter, comprehensive reference sections, and an all-encompassing index" for $25
The Collector's Edition, on the other hand, contains everything that the regular version does, with its $40 price tag offering higher quality by being bound in a "premium hardcover" and printed on "superior quality art paper". What's more is that the Red Dead Redemption 2 Collector's Edition of the Complete Official Guide offers the bonus of an exclusive art gallery featuring figures from the game. Perhaps some pages will put a spotlight on some of the returning characters coming to the sequel.
There's no doubt that plenty of players will be jumping into the world of Red Dead for the first time, especially since the previous entry centered around the protagonist John Marston came out way back in 2010. With this being the case, many gamers out there will certainly opt to pick up the forthcoming sequel's Complete Official Guide in order to get their bearings. Of course, Rockstar also knows there are lots of diehard fans of Red Dead Redemption, too, so the studio will definitely score points with those looking to get a stylishly deep dive into the sequel's fictional Western world thanks to the Collector's Edition.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is set to release on October 26, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
