GTA-developer Rockstar Games today announced Red Dead Redemption, a sequel to the 2004 Western action game Red Dead Revolver.

Due for release this fall, the game is set at the turn of the 20th century and will feature an open-world environment powered by Rockstar’s own game engine, one that is also used by Grand Theft Auto 4.

“The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing,” said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. “We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be.”

It is being developed by Rockstar San Diego – they handled the original, as well as Midnight Club: Los Angeles – for PS3 and Xbox 360.
