Wild country 1 The game takes place in 1899, around 12 years prior to the events of the last game. 2 You can talk to almost anyone you encounter, and all your dialogue takes place in the world itself rather than menus or dialogue trees. 3 Early work on Red Dead Redemption 2 started before the fi rst game even shipped. 4 You’ll have to clean and maintain weapons to keep them working properly.
