The next game from the team behind 'Grand Theft Auto' is outrageously pretty

The folks making "Red Dead Redemption 2" say we'll hear more about the game this summer, so keep an eye out for more about this gorgeous upcoming game in the next few months.

The imagery of seven cowboys is repeatedly used in Rockstar's marketing for the upcoming game. This was the first teaser image released by Rockstar, back in October 2016.

Several images of "Red Dead Redemption 2" depict a gang of seven — a nod to the film "The Magnificent Seven," no doubt, which itself is an homage to "The Seven Samurai."

Revolvers, shotguns, and rifles are sure to be standard means of dealing with hostile encounters.

It's not clear exactly when "Red Dead Redemption 2" takes place. The previous game tracked the transition of the American Frontier from its "Wild West" days to the beginning of modernity. The sequel seemingly takes a step back in time.

Some of the best moments of the original "Red Dead Redemption" were being alone in a gorgeous area, marveling at the lush environment while trotting through on horseback. Those quiet moments will clearly make a return in the sequel.

Stagecoaches are another feature of "Red Dead Redemption 2." From the looks of this one, the cargo is of enough importance that four armed men on horseback are riding along as protection.

Major centerpieces of the era, like cross-country railroads, directly play in to "Red Dead Redemption 2."

It also means gunslingers and six-shooters and bandit masks. This isn't just a tale of America's "Wild West," but a tale of cowboys, robbers, and the evolution of American society.

Unlike "GTA," the "Red Dead" series is set in the American frontier, circa mid-1800s. That means campfires and starry skies.
