The expected story length for Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 was revealed during an interview with Vulture and Rockstar’s Dan Houser. In the interview, Houser stated the campaign will take roughly 60 hours to complete, while also mentioning there was about five hours-worth of story cut from the main story. Details of the removed story content include a second love interest for the game’s main character, Arthur Morgan, as well as entire missions that Houser says didn’t fit well in the overall story.
While the removal of a portion of Red Dead Redemption 2’s story may be disappointing to some, it does confirm that at some point during the main campaign, Arthur Morgan is expected to have a love interest with one of the supporting characters. Even though a handful of hours have been dumped from the main story, Rockstar plans to have more than enough for players to do in its largest open-world game yet, which includes the entire map from the first game.
For those who can’t get enough coverage ahead of Red Dead Redemption 2’s release, Rockstar just recently showed off a new gameplay trailer. In the trailer, the emphasis of player choice combined with the massive open-world Rockstar has boasted about will give players much to look forward to apart from the already lengthy campaign. Notable details from the trailer include new information about the Dead Eye System, as well as bank heists, train robberies, and being able to watch plays or join in on card games as just a few of the many activities Red Dead Redemption 2 plans to offer.
Red Dead Redemption 2 releases on October 26th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
