So when do we expect this gameplay trailer? This month?

Next month seems more logical & realistic anyways....as far as July goes....let it go.....

[Not Kmart]

It is possible thay may release something before the investors call.. 

Like I said 

July 31st, August 1st 

Since it takes place on the 2nd

I think the next info will be either:

a- a gameplay trailer

b- rdr2 treasure hunt

c- new merch news

Most likely

B - Treasure Hunt lol

For this month anyway.

A - Gameplay trailer will be next month.

C - news about merch can be released anytime from now to September 21st.

Last day of summer I believe.

so... if you're gonna have a gang that you have to take care of and do stuff for, but we know Dutch's gang falls out. So they're gonna pull a fast one like how San Andreas was in the first chapter with Grove Street Families where we put in a lot of work for nothing because we lose all that progress?

[Spider-Vice]

July 31st is a Tuesday, don't think they'll release content in the same day as possible GTA Online bonuses/guest list. Maybe 30th or August 1st.

 

Edit: Yeah it could be the treasure hunt though.

They've been so unpredictable so far, but the interesting thing is.. They've never done any RDR 2 announcement or reveal on a Tuesday

 

Initial Teases came on Friday & Saturday

Official Reveal came on Sunday

First Trailer came on Thursday

First Delay came on Monday

Second Trailer came on Thursday

First Treasure Hunt came on Friday

Second Delay came on Thursday

Third Trailer announcement came on Monday

The 3rd Trailer itself came on Wednesday

First Previews came on Thursday

Batch of screenshots confirming editions announcement for next month came on Friday

Ultimate & Collectors edition reveal came on Monday

 

Like I said.. So unpredictable!!

So really there is no pattern to it at all. So expect an trailer announcement at any time...or not at all. 

 

[Spider-Vice]

Obviously they've never done an announcement on a Tuesday, nor they will, as long as Tuesdays are dedicated to talking about the new GTA Online bonuses or releases.

now almost 100 days left to release, sooner or later the  gameplay trailer will arrive, I don’t know if it will be better or worse when this trailer arrives, because now we only imagine how this game will be, but once We see it, it will be really hard to wait for it to come out , because it will be something that we don’t even imagine. I would like to fall asleep now and wake up on October 20th. this waiting is deadly!

Ahh.. you are right, did not look at the 31st on the calendar.

Maybe release a teaser on the 30th and then the gameplay trailer on the 1st (assuming that gameplay is the next big news).

Yes.

I believe that all RDR2 information and or teases have been on mondays, wednesdays lately

At the beginning it ranged from Friday, Saturday and Sunday,  Any day really,

No recollection of a Tuesday though.

Correct me if wrong.

Much Obliged.

[Emmi]

Can someone explain to me why the pre-order deadline is expiring on Tuesday, July 31st?

I suppose there will be (fancy) RDR2 news the week before to push every last one - who are still on the fence - over the edge?

I was looking at the leaked map and what is interesting is there is no bridges/roads connecting West Elizabeth to the new map. So it's possible the game may play similarly to GTA V where the events that happen in Blackwater are in their own cell in the game and you  can't visit there at any time during the main part of the game.

Nope ... it looks like the game will start in Blackwater and after a bank robbery there goes horribly wrong the crew must flee in order to survive. So the Blackwater/West Elizabeth part of the map will be locked after the first part of the game ... but R* said there'll be railroads build over the course of the game ... like they are actually worked on and will eventually be finished and usable. So I believe the railroads leading to West Elizabeth/Blackwater will be build over the course of the main story and at the end of it you can access Blackwater again ...

I just looked at the map and there is a place called 'adler's ranch' in the grizzlies. Possibly Sadie adler's ranch which confirms she's a cowgirl

[luke73tnt]

My original prediction was that we’ll get something around July 15th but I no longer believe we’ll get anything this month so I’m moving my prediction up to around August 5th

That is what I am saying you will start in Blackwater and once that part of the game is over you never return to that are or are able to.

But you will be able to return ... definitely after the end of the main story ... the railroads connecting Blackwater to the rest of the map will be build over the course of the main story as I said in my post!

[LeonVegaSuarez]

I still would like to know whether there will be first person view or not. It would be a massive feature.

I'd enjoy another treasure hunt of some sort!

[VigMarston]

@Spider-Vice Yes Sir. You're right 

So expecting any RDR 2 news on Tuesdays will lead to disappointment. Any other day is fine from their pattern thus far, although I would rule out Saturdays & Sundays.

 

@Haggis Basher I wouldn't say "not at all".. Trailer will obviously come. When? only R* knows
