Earlier this week, we reported that a Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshot had possibly been leaked, but it now turns out that it was from a completely different game entirely.
The image, rumoured to be from Rockstar’s upcoming Wild West game, was posted on the Grand Theft Auto forums, but has now been confirmed to be from Wild West Online, which will be a Kickstarter-funded MMO from publisher DJ2 and developer 612 Games.
PC Gamer has more details on Wild West Online, which will be hoping to raise $250,000 on Kickstarter later this month to help fund development.
“Wild West Online takes plenty of cues from Red Dead Redemption’s excellent online mode only with one major difference: It’s an MMO. No, this won’t be the typical routine of questing and grinding levels, but a seamless open world using server shards where a few hundred players will coexist together or die trying,” writes Steven Messner from PC Gamer.
Though a Red Dead Redemption 2 release date has yet to be revealed, the latest rumor is that we can expect it to land in October.
