Rockstar Games have released a new cinematic trailer for Red Dead Redemption introducing some of the characters and story alongside a release date of April 2010.

Set in the wildest of the ol’ Wild West, Red Dead Remption tells the tale of John Marston, a seasoned gunslinger who sides with the law in his hunt for a former gang partner. Roaming across an open world environment on horseback and train, players will be able to enjoy Euphoria physics in the RAGE game engine used by Grand Theft Auto IV. The new trailer also shows off some cinematic story telling with enough character development and stylistic direction to make this one to look out for next year.

Red Dead Redemption will be released on April 27th 2010 in North America and three days later for everyone else.
