Probably going to be announced soon, maybe as a preorder incentive or as a special edition thing.

[damienrayemusic 10,402]

Honestly, i think rockstar is behind it. Its clearly gonna be a big month in may and this may have been their way of letting fans know they wont be waiting too much longer. They have done similar things before and amazon cant just list things without knowing it at least exists from R* themselves lol. ;p plus collectors edition is my guess. Itll come with the book

Oooh, what if it's registered so early on bookstores because it'll also come with the Collector's Edition

I'd like a statue/figurine of my man Arthur.

exactly my thoughts.. the plot thickens 🤠🤠

[Rafae 28,340]

They frequent these forums so I can only guess they wanted to end our desperate desire for news in a way lol

[Len Lfc 2,786]

This likely means news next week, if Amazon is already populating their stores with the book.

Oh god no. It's the cycle of extinction all over again LOL

Oooh, what if it's registered so early on bookstores because it'll also come with the Collector's Edition

I doubt that. They'd make more money selling it separately, I think... Some games do come with art books, but they're usually small books. This sounds like a big, in depth book.

Makers of the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto series, award-winning Bully, Max Payne, L.A. Noire, and many others, Rockstar Games crafted for Red Dead Redemption II the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they rob, fight, and steal their way across the vast and rugged heart of America at the turn of the twentieth century in order to survive.

 

The Art of Red Dead Redemption II is the official visual companion to Rockstar Games' highly anticipated game release, and is a peek behind the curtain of Rockstar Games and its intensely guarded approach to the creation of the lush, Old West open-world gameplay. A first for this secretive company, Rockstar Games has released storyboards and behind-the-scenes inner workings of the game's creation, with a mix of detailed original art, concept, story, and character studies, sketches, and actual screengrabs of the end result that led to the creation of this spectacular game. The Art of Red Dead Redemption II is equal parts a collection of behind-the-scenes art of this epic adventure and pictorial love letter to the western genre, and Red Dead Redemption II is sure to captivate both a new gaming audience and devoted fans of Rockstar.

 

 

so is it confirmed that RDR2 is set at or after 1899?

Twentieth century starts at 1901 doesn't it?

i guess but at least it's narrowed down from 1899-1901 which means the game is set 5-7 years before john left the gang

If that were the case they wouldn't be selling it or have it listed. Few CE come complete with art books but also sell them seperately, other wise what's the incentive for buying the CE?

 

I think Euro got God of War LE that had the art book but it's the size of a game case and I don't even think it's the whole book.

That just means the period where one ends and the next begins. Could be anywhere from 1890 - 1910 really.

I just mean technically. That's the 'turn of the century' period. It could be set anywhere in that period. But considering the story, and how the characters looked, age wise. It won't be set 20 years prior, no. If I had to predict a date... maybe 1905? 5 years is a long time. Considering the story of RDR1, I can't imagine them going back too far. 5 years sounds about right. But I don't really know...

I think about 10 sounds more likely considering the appearance of Dutch

Good lord!

 

This is such a detailed preview of what's to come.

[SeniorDerp 1,446]

Story section is pretty damn interesting.. America, France, Russia..

 

Beginnings. 69 (2)

In America. 71 (1)

In France and Russia. 72 (2)

The Short Story in the Twentieth Century. 74 (4)

[executor404 2,203]

The Turn of the 20th century is regarded as the time period between 1896 and 1910.

Popular opinion states it is from 1899 to 1900.

Mathematicians say it is technically 1900 to 1901.

I'm going with the scientist and official period: So during or after 1901 is my educated guess, given the look of Dutch and the fact John Marston would be 28 years old around this year.

I'm very pleasently surprised R* will deliver an Art Book for the first time, with story boards and behind the scenes look and such.

This got me excited again. I will preorder that b*tch. Time to update the Everything We Know thread again.

That's definitely the table of contents to another book, those look like the contents for some textbook or the like on short stories.

[damienrayemusic 10,402]

HOLY f*ckING sh*t ROCKSTAR a table of contents already available?! This is definitely a tease and an announcement soon is definitely happening.

[SeniorDerp 1,446]

For me, reading it literally it says AT the turn of the 20th century. 1899-1900

 

I mentioned a long time ago that because the game was originally slated for late ‘17 that the story would incorporate New Years and bringing in the 1900s

I don’t look up books on websites to know what normal looks like so that entirely possibly lol

[Spider-Vice 33,106]

I had found that before and I ended up deleting my own post because it's clearly for another book, it even only lists 78 pages and just talks about a "short story".

[GTAFanClub 2,196]

This website: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/unknown-unknown/9780847862986-item.html has the dimensions of the book.

I would also imagine it's similar to "The Art of GTA IV":
