'Red Dead Redemption 2' Rumor Round-Up: Everything We Know So Far [VIDEO]
Red Dead Redemption 2 rumors have been spreading lately. Here is everything about the next installment that could actually be true.
Rockstar Games' blockbuster Western title is long overdue for a follow-up. Considering the developer's usual timeline for its games, a new Red Dead title should be announced pretty soon.
If there's anything that is certain, it is that Rockstar is known to choose quality over the quantity of its games. Thus, it has been pretty much expected for follow-up titles to take years after its predecessor has been released, according to Alphr.
However, the last Red Dead title came out six years ago, making a follow-up to the Western game pretty much overdue. Despite Rockstar's silence on the development of the game, however, the developer has at least stated that it is developing a couple of high-profile games right now, leading many fans to speculate that the next Red Dead title is on its way.
With this in mind, it is very much possible that the third title in the Red Dead franchise would be released sometime soon.
As for the game's actual title, rumors have emerged stating that the game would most likely not be called Red Dead Redemption 2, according to MNR Daily. These rumors actually make sense, since the first title in the series was called Red Dead Revolver and its acclaimed follow-up was Red Dead Redemption. Currently, fans are still speculating, though the title Red Dead Retribution, which was created by a fan, was met warmly by the RDR community.
Rumors have also stated that the new game would feature multiple protagonists, just like Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V. With the success of the crime-simulation game in mind, it would not be a surprise if the developer opts to implement the same feature on its other blockbuster franchise.
Other rumors surrounding the game involve the upcoming title's mechanics, with many stating that the third Red Dead game would feature a larger map and a bigger story. Considering that the Red Dead franchise is developed by Rockstar, however, these rumors are all but confirmed. Rockstar, after all, never releases a game that is inferior than its predecessor.
