Red Dead Redemption: Rockstar Revealing Characters’ Names | Gaming News
Saddle up with these new additions to the gang.
Rockstar Games is spending the morning rounding up its posse. Put another way, the developer is tweeting out names and quotes for some of the characters coming in Red Dead Redemption 2, including the central Dutch Van der Linde gang.
The first new reveal was Susan Grimshaw, for whom Rockstar offered this line of dialogue: “I swear half of you would just rot in your own filth if nobody kept you in check.”
Rockstar followed her up with Molly O’Shea, who’s quoted as saying, “You’re playing a dangerous game.”
Those are the only new characters introduced so far, but Rockstar also gave shoutouts to the previously revealed Hosea Matthews, Pearson, and Dutch Van der Linde, the latter of whom is the leader of the gang. The gang leader quote Rockstar shared is, “They’re chasing us hard, because we represent everything that they fear.”
Pearson’s quoted as saying, “The people are happy and well fed. I think perhaps we’ll be OK.” And Hosea Matthews’ quote is, “I wish I had acquired wisdom at less of a price.”
It seems likely that more quote reveals, if not more name reveals, are still coming, as Rockstar has continued tweeting out more characters while this story was being written.
In any case, what the developer has tweeted as of writing is far from an exhaustive list of Red Dead Redemption 2’s gang members, but you can read up on the previously revealed members. And while Dutch may be the leader of the gang, it’ll be Arthur Morgan whom players lead around the Old West when Red Dead Redemption 2 is released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 26.
