Rockstar nous fait parvenir le calendrier prévisionnel de sortie des prochaines extensions de Red Dead Redemption, qui seront cette fois-ci payantes (environ une dizaine d'euros chacune). Chaque pack améliorera une partie du jeu, principalement dans son mode multijoueur (de nouveaux challenges et mini-jeux en free roam, des maps en versus, des persos, des armes, etc.). Le dernier pack de l'année introduira même des zombies !

Cela sonne-t-il le glas d'une éventuelle extension solo d'envergure dont Rockstar a le secret ? Le planning est en tous cas bien chargé d'ici la fin de l'année et le prix du pack undead fait penser qu'il ne sera pas aussi étoffé qu'un Gay Tony ou un Lost and Damned.
