Take-Two, parent company of Rockstar Games, is dropping a big bombshell regarding a potential remaster of Read Dead Redemption, which is becoming more and more concrete.
Thanks to the immense success of GTA, Rockstar already reigned supreme in the open-world games market. In 2010, when the release of Red Dead Redemption on PS3 and Xbox 360, the American studio signs a new tour de force. 13 years later, players still cannot forget the adventure of John Marston and its absolutely fantastic conclusion. Of course, we won’t tell you about it here, because even so long after, RDR is one of those timeless games that are not really told, but lived. That’s good, because rather than returning to the version of yesteryear, players will certainly have the opportunity to (re)discover Red Dead Redemption on current consoles very soon. In recent days, a potential remaster of the game is much talked about and Take-Two Interactive itself had probably teased his existence.
Red Dead Redemption Remaster is getting even more specific
What if Take-Two had already spilled the beans? Players had fun digging up the minutes of a conference on its results for the fiscal year 2023 which was held in May, and they made an interesting discovery there. During it, Rockstar’s parent company discussed its plans for fiscal year 2024, which runs from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Karl Slatoff, president of Take-Two, was there. revealed crucial information. The band plans to launch “two new iterations of titles already released on the market” during this period. A confirmation that a Red Dead Redemption Remastered coming to PS5 and Xbox Series very soon? The Snitch, insider reputed in the middle, believes in it hard as iron.
He relays an article evoking the remarks made by the spawn of Take-Two with a simple emoji that means a lot. All this would confirm the information of recent days going in this direction. Indeed, the GRAC, Korean classification body, recently classified Red Dead Redemption under the name “CC-NV-230615-001”, NV indicating that it is a console version. This week, Colin Moriarty, former editor of IGN, threw a coin in the machine claiming to have proof that a remaster of RDR did exist in his podcast Sacred Symbols. According to him, the game could even be announced as early as next August.
A remaster of GTA 4 also approaching?
Of course, fans are advised not to get fired up before an official confirmation. But there is cause for optimism, and not just for the community of Red Dead Redemption. Karl Slatoff mentions the return of two titles from the Take-Two catalog. Would the second game mentioned by the president of the group be GTA 4 ? For many months, rumors have been swirling about a potential remaster of Niko Bellic’s adventure on PS5 and Xbox Series, with some insiders claiming that it was one of the games canceled in favor of GTA 6. These two projects could clearly help gamers to wait for the release of the next Rockstar blockbuster. Hoping that these remasters are of a higher quality than GTA Trilogyheavily criticized by the community when it was released in November 2021.
