Rockstar has touched base on a possible sequel to its 2010 open-world Wild West romp, Red Dead Redemption.
Speaking in a Q&A on Rockstar Newswire, the esteemed video game maker once again reiterated its stance on not rushing out a sequel to its products, but stopped short of actually confirming Red Dead 2’s development.
“It’s wonderful to see so much excitement and enthusiasm for the Red Dead series, and nearly 5 years after Red Dead Redemption’s release(!),” said the company.
“As we’ve mentioned when asked in the past about new games in other series such as Red Dead Redemption, Bully and L.A. Noire, we don’t always rush to make sequels, but that does not mean we won’t get to them eventually.
“We have so many games we want to make and the issue is always one of bandwidth and timing. We thank longtime fans such as yourselves as always for your amazing support and please stay tuned in 2015 for announcements of what’s to come from Rockstar Games.”
Red Dead Redemption was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in April 2010, and went on to sell eight million copies as of early 2011. The game received a Game of the Year Edition featuring all available DLC, including the brilliant zombie spin-off, Undead Nightmare.
A sequel has been rumored for over two years now, with the latest report coming in September, when developer Rockstar San Diego was spotted staffing up for a mysterious project.
