Red Dead Redemption 2 Outlaw Essentials Collection: See All 30 Items

Rockstar is gearing up to release what promises to be one of the biggest games of the year. Red Dead Redemption 2 is slated to come out on October 26 for PS4 and Xbox One (you can pre-order it here). But a game this big doesn't go out into the world alone. Rockstar announced it will release a series of Red Dead Redemption 2-themed limited-edition collectibles to go along with the game. It's called the Outlaw Essentials Collection.

The Outlaw Essentials Collection is made up of 30 items you can use in everyday life, from T-shirts and blankets to shot glasses and 3D puzzles. All this Red Dead gear either is or will be available soon for pre-order at GameStop and the Rockstar Warehouse. In the pages ahead, we've assembled a photo gallery with each piece in the collection, along with links to pre-order when possible.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel that takes place 12 years before the main events of the previous game. It follows the Van der Linde gang as they go on the run after an attempted robbery goes wrong. John Marston, the original game's protagonist, is in the gang, but he's not the main character. That role is served by Arthur Morgan, the right-hand man of gang leader Dutch Van der Linde.

Here's Rockstar's description of Red Dead Redemption 2's plot:

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.
