New updates for "Red Dead Redemption 2" will feature a debunked game screenshot and the PC version to launch after the consoles.

It seems that rumored leaked screenshot for "Red Dead Redemption 2" has been debunked as it was confirmed that the image is actually a new western themed online game called "Wild West Online" produced by independent studio 612 Games and published by DJ2 Entertainment.

"Wild West Online" will be a PvP MMO that lets you form gangs, uphold or break the law, explore a vast frontier and engage in all sorts of other down-and-dirty Old West activities, ComicBook reported.

While it is a completely different game, fans could attest that "Wild West Online" could be the precursor for "Red Dead Redemption 2", after all the sequel will be coming to the PC version will have an online gameplay similar to "GTA Online" in "Grand Theft Auto 5."

There is still the rumor that "Red Dead Redemption 2" will have a live-action trailer, which gaming fans have been anticipating since its announcement.

Rockstar Games stated that they are still filming "Red Dead Redemption 2" as producer Jeff Guillot and his crew has headed to the Mni-Sda (Still Water) Presbyterian Church (known as the Chelsea Church) in northeastern Montana.

Production areas for the sequel also stretch for 5,000 miles and go between California and Montana, suggesting that leaks that show a large map for the game are indeed legitimate.

Guillot added that "Red Dead Redemption 2" is to be released in September, but it does not have an official release date beyond fall 2017. However, the comments from the LA producer will hopefully offset concerns that the sequel could be delayed depending on how fast the post-production could finish it.

In other news, the possibility of a PC reveal for "Red Dead Redemption 2" will not happen this year as Rockstar Games and Take-Two will likely announce it after the console launch in the Fall.

"Grand Theft Auto 5" taught Rockstar a great many things, and some of the lessons are bound to rub off on "Red Dead Redemption 2 's" development. However, "GTA 5" also taught Rockstar how to sell a game to maximum effect and the staggered release schedule really worked out for them.

While a common outcome was players buying the title twice, with some even bought it three times across all gaming platforms. First, the game launched on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, then a year later it arrived on the PS4 and Xbox one consoles and finally, another year later, it was released on PC, RDR2 reported.

Will Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive practice the same method for "Red Dead Redemption 2?"

Previous reports stated that a PC version of "Red Dead Redemption 2" could happen thanks to a leaked HTML link from DRM providers. Denuvo Software Solutions, one of the many forms of DRM providers got hacked last month as a Rockstar game is mentioned on the list of leaked information, thus leading to gaming fans speculating that "Red Dead Redemption 2" could be coming to the PC platform.

There are also rumors that Rockstar Games could put the Rockstar Editor in "Red Dead Redemption 2", a feature that was exclusive to "GTA 5" in the PC version.

"Red Dead Redemption 2" will be release on the Fall 2017 for PS4 and Xbox One consoles
