[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62446, member: 1"] Roger Clark, who plays Arthur Morgan in [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/red-dead-redemption-2']Red Dead Redemption 2[/URL], is set to narrate an audiobook that looks at American history through the lens of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption games. Clark narrates historian Tore Olsson’s ‘Red Dead’s History’ in character as Arthur Morgan, protagonist of Rockstar’s critically acclaimed open-world epic. Red Dead’s History explores the “wildly dramatic and gritty world” of America from 1870 to 1920. 2010’s [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/red-dead-redemption']Red Dead Redemption[/URL] and its prequel, 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2, set in 1911 and 1899 respectively, were praised for their authentic portrayal of life during the decline of the American frontier. In the book, Olsson digs into the detail presented in the games and adds context from real-world American history. Here’s the official blurb: IGN spoke with college history professor Tore Olsson, who as well as writing books teaches the world’s first Red Dead Redemption history class at the University of Tennessee, to discuss the work.
