First footage of Rockstar Games follow up to 2004's Red Dead Revolver should be making its way to you no later than tomorrow, in the form of the game's first official trailer.

Rockstar says we should expect Red Dead Redemption's debut trailer to arrive Thursday, May 7th, giving us a look at John Marston—"a notorious outlaw trying to survive life in the harsh frontier when the newly government-appointed Bureau of Investigation approaches him with a deadly ultimatum"—and crew in moody motion picture glory. Hopefully that means availability via the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace.

We expect the trailer to look a lot like the game's new screen shots, but with a much better frame rate.

Update: Apparently "May 7th" in Rockstar time means "May 5th," as IGN has posted the first trailer. And that's the last time I'll do that!
