Rockstar rescues Red Dead Revolver

Rockstar Games has today announced that it will publish PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of Red Dead Revolver in North America in next spring. Currently in development at Rockstar San Diego, the Old West-themed action game was previously canceled by Capcom.

"We are excited to announce this astounding new franchise, which portrays one of the most fascinating periods of time in American history," said Sam Houser, president of Rockstar Games. "Red Dead Revolver is Rockstar Games' first foray into the Wild West, and the Rockstar production team is eager to deliver an engaging and visually stunning experience that pays homage to this era."

"With this game, we have pushed ourselves technically, stylistically, and gameplay-wise further than ever before," said Diego Angel, president of Rockstar San Diego. "We are aiming to make a western experience that sparks memories of the past as well as looks forward with an inventive new approach."
