Rockstar North's co-studio head Rob Nelson looks back on the launch and details the future of Red Dead Online: "we are only just getting started!" You can barge into a stranger's cabin in the middle of the woods, at night, rifle slung over your shoulder, and they'll know, somehow, that you're there looking for work, not to rob them. They're fun and challenging, and the story is engaging enough, albeit dampened a little by the fact that your character is a blank slate who never utters a word. Jobs on offer include stealing horses, bounty hunting, defending Valentine from the Del Lobo gang, and even robbing a bank in Saint Denis. I devoted a good few hours to playing, and replaying, these missions, teaming up with random cowboys through matchmaking. So I was happy to discover a series of co-op missions called A Land of Opportunities, in which your mute gunslinger takes part in a series of entertaining, varied missions, all of which have the voice acting, set-pieces, and cutscenes you'd expect to see playing as Arthur Morgan in single-player. I had no interest in Red Dead Online's gunfights, horse races, deathmatches, or other competitive PVP modes: I just wanted more story, primarily as a way to immerse myself in that world again. But here's the thing: I'm not really into multiplayer games.
