Rockstar Games has unveiled the latest trailer, "My Name is John Marston", for its upcoming open-world Western title Red Dead Redemption, which the publisher announces will release on April 30th 2010.

Based in the American West at the turn of the 20th century, players assume the role of reformed outlaw John Marston, who has been blackmailed by the government to hunt out members of his former gang.

“This is our vision of the American West: beautiful, bloody and action-packed. The game is a true epic, and has been developed with the same production values and attention to detail we put into all our projects,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Red Dead Redemption represents another milestone for us in the development of open world games."

The following trailer, the first footage to be released in six months, has been composed entirely in-engine.
