Firstly, new details have emerged regarding Red Dead Redemption 2's online component, which will be a very similar experience to Grand Theft Auto V's 'GTA Online'.

Activities from GTA Online also return, with gold-mining, fishing, herding and weapon challenges stated as some of the many players can partake in.

Most interestingly is three game modes that will be featured in Red Dead's multiplayer, which according to notes provided to TrustedReviews, are a Battle Royale mode, 'Revive and Survive' and 'Money Grab'. While unsure what the alleged Battle Royale mode will be like, expect it to be something very similar to games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite. 

As for Revive and Survive and Money Grab, Revive and Survive is a mode which pits two teams of players against each other with limited revive times before players and eliminated, while Money Grab features two teams fighting to collect money bags at a specific location and deliver them to their base.
