America, 1899. The era of outlaws is dying, and Arthur Morgan knows it. As the right hand of the Van der Linde gang, he must rob, fight and ride across a rugged heartland with federal agents and bounty hunters closing in. Winner of over 175 Game of the Year Awards, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of honor and loyalty at the dawn of the modern age, and the Special Edition sends you into it with a set of exclusive Story Mode bonuses.
The End of the Wild West
After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, the Van der Linde gang is forced to flee. With the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must steal and fight their way across America to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the family apart, Arthur must choose between his own ideals and loyalty to the people who raised him. It is a slow-burning, character-driven story that earns its more than 250 perfect scores, told through some of the strongest writing and performances the medium has produced.
A Frontier That Lives and Breathes
From snowbound mountain passes to sunbaked plains and mud-caked frontier towns, the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is staggering in its detail. Hunt wildlife for the camp pot, fish quiet rivers at dawn, sit down for a hand of poker in a saloon, or simply ride out and watch the weather roll in. Your horse, your gear and your reputation all respond to how you choose to live on the frontier.
What the Special Edition Adds
Beyond the complete story and access to Red Dead Online, the Special Edition carries exclusive Story Mode content:
- Bank Robbery Mission and Gang Hideout
- Plan and pull off a bank job in the southern town of Rhodes in an exclusive Story Mode mission, then fight your way through a hidden Del Lobos gang hideout for a stash of loot and a hard-earned payday.
- Dappled Black Thoroughbred
- A striking race horse with strong speed and acceleration, ready to carry Arthur across the heartland. It comes with the Nuevo Paraiso saddle, crafted from dark chocolate leather with silver medallion detailing.
- Talisman and Trinket Gameplay Bonuses
- The Eagle Talon Talisman and Iguana Scale grant Arthur helpful boosts out in the world, easing the demands of life on the run and rewarding time spent away from the beaten path.
- Cash Bonuses and Discounts
- Story Mode cash bonuses and discounts at in-game shops give Arthur a head start on camp upgrades, weapons and provisions, so you can spend less time scraping by and more time riding.
- The Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger Outfit
- Dress Arthur in classic black-and-white gunslinger attire inspired by the vaqueros south of the border, a sharp look for a man doing decidedly unsharp business.
Ride Into Red Dead Online
The Special Edition also includes Red Dead Online, the shared world built on the same frontier. Ride solo or form a posse, then forge your own path: chase down bounties as a Bounty Hunter, build a trading business, search for exotic treasures as a Collector, run an underground moonshine distillery, or learn the secrets of the animal kingdom as a Naturalist. Years of additions have filled the map with things worth riding toward.
The frontier does not stay quiet for long. Saddle up and find out why nobody who finishes Arthur Morgan's last ride ever quite leaves it behind.
