Take-Two announced they will be delaying the release of Red Dead Redemption during a first quarter fiscal 2010 earnings report today.

Red Dead Redemption was originally going to be released on April 27th but fans eagerly waiting for its release got some bad news today. During an earnings report, Take-Two's chairman Strauss Zelnick announced they will be pushing back the game's release to May 18th. He stated that it was to extend the time they would need for marketing the game before its release. Like a lot of you I was sad to hear we would have to wait longer to play it but at least it was only pushed out a few weeks and not months like other recent games like Max Payne 3.

Red Dead Redemption will be released on May 18th for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
