Seemingly confirming that Rockstar would be returning to the Wild West setting of Red Dead Redemption, the publisher has since tweeted another picture showing what appears to be a band of cowboys.

Red Dead Redemption was a departure for Rockstar, who traditionally have focused their efforts on the Grand Theft Auto series of video games.

The game was set right at the end of the ‘Wild West’ period in the early 20th century and was praised for its emotive storytelling and impressive graphics.
