Wild West Online
This one is obvious, right? While Wild West Online likely won’t be releasing fully this year, early access is going to begin Nov. 15. Releasing on Oct. 26, Red Dead Redemption 2 will of course beat Wild West Online’s early access to the punch. We don’t know exactly what Red Dead Redemption 2’s online multiplayer will be like, but considering its predecessor had an online component, and the obscene amounts of money Grand Theft Auto Online has made, it’s a safe bet that Rockstar is taking “Red Dead Online” or whatever they will call it, very seriously.
It’s a shame, because even in a very early and raw state, we had a good time with Wild West Online 2, making our own fun. But, if Red Dead Redemption 2 is as gripping and fun as its predecessor, it might be a hard sell to convince prospective players to drop it in favor of Wild West Online. Sure it’s possible that Red Dead Redemption 2 might actually boost the interest in Wild West Online, but it’s probably more likely to over shadow it. The official Twitter account for Wild West Online in its description even states tongue in cheek that part of who they are is “explaining that we’re not Red Dead Redemption. ” Hopefully both games can coexist with a short period of time, but we’ll put our money on Red Dead Redemption 2 in that David vs. Goliath match up.
