Lol, I just posted this in the rumor thread at the same time.

When was the last time that happened? Last time with GTA V it was supposed to come out in Q2 2013 and then got pushed to September. If anything, I'm guessing Rockstar already looked at that and made the conscious decision that September is the perfect time for them to hit.
Yeah, baking in the delay would be neat

A lot of talk lately seems to indicate that they've been working on this game in some form since 2010; so more than likely it's almost done.

Interesting! Personally, I'd prefer October and feel that is more likely/makes more sense.

The sooner the better!
If the game is done, polished and ready to go - with no bugs or glitches and they've been just polishing and troubleshooting it for the past year or so [assuming they've been working on it since 2012 or before] - then like I said, the sooner the better!

Well, September - October 2017. Ok. So far, it's like retailers are throwing darts at a placeholder board.

That isn't confirmed.
Rockstar might possibly announce the release date at the E3 2017 Sony presser, but other than that speculation - it's all speculation.
It would be funny if it came out that date.
Did Easy Allies just slip the release date?
While talking about Destiny 2, they say that it "comes out the week before red dead, September 8th" in this Destiny 2 video:

Possibly September 15th?

This is some heavy GAFdetectives shit !
Wow, that is way too specific for them to have just guessed. I wonder if there was a press event recently for RDR2.

Wow, that's weird. I wonder if they really know because it'd be crazy for them not to edit that out if true.

Nice find! Hope it's true.
Yeah, I didn't want to just assume this is some bombshell. Was thinking maybe there was some red dead re-release or it getting BC on xbox that I didn't know about, or maybe speculation. Thought I'd just point it out to see what everyone thinks.

Yeah.
Red Dead in September would be great for me. September and October for Red Dead and then CoD in November.

Set in 1914 with the one and only Jack but we go back in time to experience linear multiple protagonist missions about John?
I don't think this sounds legit in any shape or form.

Nah, don't believe it. I don't understand why Rockstar would market that portion of the game if it's not the main. Main theory still holds, first trailer voice is protag 1, and the man to the far left on the key art. Other two are twin guns, and the Native American.
Jack was a vehicle to finish Johns story, and the finalization of the fall of the west. It makes no sense having him return. Red Dead Redemption is a story about the end of the Wild West, it only makes sense to go backwards. To the point that continuing that story kinda tarnishes it.

Fakest thing I've seen since that "Dev map" that got shown around here last year.
Set in 1914, flashback scenes of John and the gang because jack is reading his father's journal. You can ride Zebra's??? Are Zebra's common in western America? Must have been imported from Africa.
Yeah... either the game is about John and Dutch etc and set in 1800's or it isn't. You can't have a whole game of flashbacks and then claim the game is set in 1914 because Jack is the one reading the story.

Yep agreed with the bolded. Plus from what we've seen of the RDR2 media, it all looks a good deal 'older' than what we saw in RDR. RDR comes to a close in Blackwater, a town with automobiles and a prevalent federal government, but the media we've seen from RDR2 doesn't show any primitive automobiles or anything like that, which RDR ended with that being the coming reality for the West. A lot of the media we have doesn't really data RDR2, but there are lights and what's either telegraph poles or electric poles. There is some evidence of electric light in the media we've gotten, particularly shots like this:
https://media.rockstargames.com/roc.../c6a4b95cdb837c0dcace6e17f986be52b8c9e968.jpg
Electric lights like these would have been in mining towns in the late 1800s.
I suspect it's a prequel or a lightly related story told at a similar time. Rockstar has never been afraid to start over with their stories when on a new console and with a new number, so I wouldn't put it past them.
Although I don't know if the spoken character from the first trailer has to be the protagonist. I think the original reveal trailer from RDR1 was from the Marshall from Armadillo, so I could see if the voice over from RDR2 reveal trailer is someone talking to the main character, not the other way around.
