Rockstar Teases 'Red Dead Redemption 2'
Rockstar is on a roll. After unveiling the heavily anticipated online heists for "Grand theft Auto V," the company took part in a quick Q and A on the site that's called "Asked and Answered." There were quite a few interesting tidbits spread throughout the Q and A, like both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbx 360 still receiving online support from the company, why it took so long to bring heists online, the need for in-game currency and upcoming details for the PC version of "Grand Theft Auto V."
One question that may have opened some eyes was the one regarding a sequel to "Red Dead Redemption." When a fan asked about plans for a sequel or reboot for the Spaghetti Western game, the answer that was given may have been a bit coy, but at the same time Rockstar Games didn't flat out deny that a "Red Dead Redemption 2" was not in the works stating: "We have so many games we want to make and the issue is always one of bandwidth and timing." The game developer also mentioned that it doesn't rush sequels of its games like critically acclaimed "Bully" and "LA Noire."
It makes sense for Rockstar to plan a sequel to "Red Dead Redemption," itself being a spiritual successor to the much lesser known "Red Dead Revolver." The game sold over 13 million copies according to Gamespot and even gained an expansion pack, where the main story was altered to include zombies for the player to fight against. To add more fuel to the fire, Rockstar parent company Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick once referred to the "Red Dead Redemption" series as a permanent title in Rockstar's library.
Will there be a sequel to "Red Dead Redemption"? Only time will tell, though it looks likely. For now, there's still plenty to enjoy from Rockstar, especially with the recently announced online heists for "Grand Theft Auto V" gaining momentum among the gaming community, along with the upcoming PC release for the game.
