While almost a month remains until the premiere of Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar has launched a Facebook game called Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers. You can find it here.
- Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers is inspired by Rockstar's latest epic videogame Red Dead Redemption and is an RPG social game experience created specifically for Facebook where players can duel against friends, foes and strangers alike to become the most notorious gunslinger in the land.
- Create a Western gunslinger identity for yourself, and choose a character between three strategic classes: Outlaw (power), Fast Hands (speed), and Sharpshooter (accuracy).
- Challenge other players to Duels – and see it rendered out through a dynamic and bloody shootout video sequence created with footage captured directly from the actual multiplayer modes of the forthcoming Red Dead Redemption videogame.
- Collect dozens of special Achievement distinctions only attainable by a master duelist.
- Round up a notorious posse of friends to level up quicker. Talk trash on each others' character profile Walls.
- And compete amongst your friends in friends-only leaderboards for unassailable bragging rights, or via the global leaderboards to see if you have what it takes to be the baddest Gunslinger worldwide.
- With your help and devoted play during this beta period, we should have all the gameplay variables fine-tuned soon. Stay tuned to hear when we're out of beta and also for future updates to Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers by making sure you're a Fan of Rockstar Games on Facebook.
