Good news for RDR fans as Red Dead Redemption 2 has been confirmed to be in development right now at Rockstar games!
After months of speculations and rumors, it looks like Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally happening as it has been confirmed that is in development right now.
Tweaktown has confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 is in development at Rockstar right now and Cyberland has reported that it is going to be for the PS4 and Xbox One but while the PC version is likely, the consoles are the main focus of Rockstar.
Gamespot has also reported that "as part of Rockstar Games' 'Asked & Answered' feature, wherein the developer said it is happy to see continued excitement over its Western franchise years after its release. Though the company isn't ready yet to officially talk about a sequel, the developer told fans to 'stay tuned' in 2015 for potential news."
Red Dead Redemption 2 being in development is no surprise seeing that Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has admitted that the Red Dead franchise is a "permanent" franchise for the company.
"I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent," he said. "It's obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that Red Dead is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others."
"We haven't given any colour on how you should think about [BioShock] yet except we do believe it's beloved; we think it's important [and] certainly something that we're focused on; something 2K Marin will be responsible for shepherding going forward," he continued. "I think there's a lot of upside in that franchise. It hasn't necessarily been realised yet."
