Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption was easily one of the previous generation’s biggest highlights. Indeed, Rockstar once again outdid themselves with a perfect marriage of their signature open world game design and a sublime Wild West setting. It’s been six years since the original game debuted and despite the fairly obvious potential of a follow-up title, Rockstar’s San Diego studio has remained silent on the matter.
Of course, a second Red Dead Redemption has been rumoured to be in the works for quite some time and anticipation for a release announcement has been building momentum after a screenshot of the game’s world map surfaced on the internet earlier this year. The supposed leak follows last year’s report from an industry insider who claimed he had heard that the game would be a prequel named Legends of the West.
[zergpaid]In terms of timeframe, the Red Dead Redemption sequel does seem to fit. We’re sure Rockstar San Diego must be pretty far through development if they’ve been working on a new title for even half the amount of time since the original. What remains in question is whether it fits Rockstar’s style as a studio to showcase a game during an event such as E3.
Typically, Rockstar prefer to launch games as and when they choose. After all, their popularity as a developer doesn’t necessitate them to play by the rules. Still, that doesn’t stop a new Red Dead game from featuring on our wishlist for this year and we’ve certainly not given up on an epic launch announcement at E3 2016.
