While some bettors were laying money on May as the month when Red Dead Redemption 2, the first full Rockstar game since Grand Theft Auto 5 in 2013, would finally release – after all, the Old-West open-world epic was slated for "Spring 2018" – it will in fact be October 26. Finally.
It's good news for gamers who've long anticipated the sequel to one of the most beloved games of the last decade. But October 26, which is right in the heart of the always-crucial holiday sales window, is bad, bad news for almost every other game publisher. No, Red Dead 2 won't siphon all games sales, but for the many, many not-as-hardcore gamers who only buy a few games a year, it is likely to cost some other major franchises dearly. Let's take a look at a swath of the major publishers and how they're likely to be affected by Red Dead Redemption 2's late-October arrival.
