In 2004, Rockstar Games released Red Dead Revolver—a third-person open-world action western. This became the beginning of a new series of games that caused a sensation in the gaming industry.

The author of the book, Romain Dacnuau, will tell you the story of the success of the Red Dead trilogy, which became one of the most outstanding series of the modern era both technically and in terms of storytelling. The book offers not only the history of the trilogy’s creation and an analysis of the game saga, but also an exploration of the western genre. It immerses the reader in the atmosphere of backwater towns, dangerous shootouts, and endless expanses.

You will learn:

• how the moral code of the Wild West changed and what became the foundation of the western genre;
• what happened behind the scenes of development and how the Red Dead saga evolved alongside the GTA series;
• how the script was prepared, what narrative techniques the developers used, and what they were inspired by in cinema;
• how the series explores themes of revenge, honor, and redemption by weaving them into the gaming experience.
