Rockstar Games Teasing Something Red: Is a Red Dead Redemption Sequel Coming?

Rockstar Games just updated its official site with a completely red splash screen, that you can see above. It appears to be something quite relevant, as the studio’s social media channels are also echoing the change.

[DragonDDark]

GET HYPED! IT'S HAPPENING!

[Genuine-User]

Hyped! I'm excited to see the new Red Dead!

[bouzebbal]

i think it is red dead remaster
i never get my hopes too high

[b163o1]

How can RDR get a sequel when it is a..... you know what never mind. Hype switch engaged!!!!

[freshslicepizza]

on pc please whatever it is, remastered and or a new game

[morganfell]

Rockstar San Diego is working on Red Dead 3. The other studios will contribute but they (RSD) have been in development for 2 years. This could be about a RDR remaster, but that doesn't alter the fact the 3rd game in the series is being built at RSD.

[UltraNova]

My body is ready!

[Concertoine]

@abzdiine

RDR remaster is unlikely... the game is very complex code and that is the reason it never had a PC port and why it is glitchy as far as Rockstar games go. It's also why the multiplayer is broken to this day. Members of the dev team often said it was a miracle it ever came out.

In other words - get hyped for Red Dead 3!

[mikeslemonade]

Nope. We want GTA6 not another boring Red Dead.

Red Dead only had good graphics at the time. Gameplay was dry as heck.

[lelo2play]

AGENT!

Oh , wait...

[MasterCornholio]

Agent is black.

:P

@Dragon

Depends on your interpretation of soon.

LOL

[DragonDDark]

Lol "coming soon"

[notachance]

It's been 3 years since GTA V, I'd say it's about damn time!

[XanderZane]

They had already hinted last year that the game was in the works. Maybe they finally have a teaser to show. Can't wait.

[Crazyglues]

So where is it already.. ???

[Perjoss]

Careful guys, Red Dead isn't the only 'red' game that R* makes:

[senorfartcushion]

So when people blame hye for a game bwing disappointing.....I'll be right to blame people like you?

[josephayal]

sniff sniff!

[Walker]

Everything's just changed red too. Website has that exact image, Twitter banner image has change to that image and its Twitter avatar has changed to a black background with its logo in red.

[TacticAce]

OMG IT HAPPENING!!!!!!

[InMyOpinion]

Or...it's another f*cking remaster. :(

[nowitzki2004]

At least it would be a game worthy of a remaster.

[InMyOpinion]

Sure but it would be a big letdown for me.

[ocelot07]

I want Red Dead 3. Not a sequel to Red Dead Redemption.

[Hroach616]

Red dead 3 would be a sequel to red dead redemption. Redemption was red dead 2 essentially

[solidossnakos]

he meant a new storyline

[ocelot07]

As solidossnakos said I mean a new story new characters ect. I keep seeing people saying they want Red Dead Redemption 2. To me that would make no sense.

[-Foxtrot]

If it's RD3 then please god don't let them focus on the online and multiplayer DLC

[5p4c3d]

yea right, after GTAOnline, this is their bread and butter now. I actually liked red dead's online more then GTA's though. Id say its safe to assume it will be back in red dead in a big way for better or worse.

[SgtPepper1806]

I adored Red Dead online. It's probably the best online experience I ever had, sans maybe Halo 3. But GTA online was ruined by shark cards. I'm terrified they'll do it to Red Dead too.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Youre actually terrified?

[Oschino1907]

Please site one time sharks cards ever directly affected you in a negative way while playing online?

[Nitrowolf2]

You know it will be..

I mean gta sp dlc isn't being done because of it.

They've seen the success of it and are gonna keep going with it.

That's ashame to as red dead redemption had one of the best multiplayer

[-Foxtrot]

I don't see why they don't get a smaller studio to work on a separate online part for whatever main game the bigger studios are doing. Then they can release it either on the same day or a month or so down the line. An optional download.

Then the bigger studio can work on single player DLC or the next IP. They have enough money to do this.

Long as they stick to one character in the single player I'm good.

[Phill-Spencer]

@foxtrott
I think it they could have used a second Team for singleplayer dlc for gta BUT(i like big buts^^) i'm sure they they want to avoid pulling players away from gta online, which is a unimaginable Huge money maker for Rockstar. So i'm afraid they repeat they same strategy for red dead multiplayer.

[Skankinruby]

Very unlikely unfortunately, after the huge success of GTA online

[Red_Renegade]

red dead was a lot of fun online?

[rynodigital]

You mean you're not gonna pay real money for some RD Snake Oil cards?

[Phunkydiabetic1]

Why? Red Dead had amazing online. And the Undead Nightmare DLC was fantastic. They do both things right in nearly all their games, why would you want them to not to it this time? Go back to 1993 and play SNES or something.

[-Foxtrot]

Urgh before you get on your high horse and throw shade you'll see I didn't call the quality of the online

They spent all their time on the multiplayer in GTAV with shitty MTs that the single player had no post launch content

[Phunkydiabetic1]

You gotta be shitting me. Have you ever PLAYED GTA Online or do you just like whining about multiplayer games? They have steadily released awesome updates for years. All for free. There is nothing "shitty" about what they've done. And don't even start about the shark cards. They do nothing to affect the online.

[greywolf39]

Nice, Cant wait. There will be treat to us playstation users. Remember that rockstar has nice partnership with sony

[Furesis]

What? lol

[DeadlyOreo]

Exclusive GTA5 bundles and advertising, and releasing almost every old school Rockstar game remastered on PS4. And bear in mind that since the PS exclusive Agent came to nothing Rockstar may very well owe Sony.

I'd say Sony and Rockstar have a great partnership. So I don't really know what your "lol" is about.

[greywolf39]

Yes, the game will be revealed on PSX this year

[seanpitt23]

They have a great relationship with Sony and Microsoft. I know Microsoft paid rockstar alot of money for gta4 dlc timed exclusive but saying that Rockstar do owe Sony something.

[gamertk421]

Or a treat to us future Scorpio users, but I digress.

[MasterCornholio]

Both will be treated well. Whether your on the Xbox One S, PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro or Mr. Scorpio the game should be fantastic.

We know what Rockstar is capable of.

[BlakHavoc]

Scorpio exclusives will likely be where you can see the difference, not 3rd party titles.

[MasterCornholio]

There are a lot of rumors of a new Red Dead. Can't wait to see it.

Hopefully it's Enhanced for the Pro.

This would be the ultimate troll though.

https://www.blogcdn.com/www...

[Overload]

This is good, this is damn good.

[gamertk421]

Red Dead RacIng, confirmed.

[SuperbVillain]

new red shirts available in GTAV

[_-EDMIX-_]

I think this is sort of the most known game from Rockstar that's going to come out, I think we all kind of know Red Dead is very likely to be their next title.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Red Dead is one of the few games I played last generation where I would take a sequel of the very exact same features but just better looking and I would still be happy if I put easily 100 hours in that game and loved it way better than GTA 4.

I think Rockstar is one of the most Progressive studios in gaming and I believe Red Dead will be another example of them naturally progressing their game series so I expect the same but with more features and better looking and I'm completely fine with that.

[seanpitt23]

I just hope it has the shooting mechanics of red dead redemption but improved on it. Gta 5 shooting mechanics was awful and a massive letdown was hoping for max Payne quality but no.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I actually loved GTAV's shooting. I think Red Dead will be fine.

[Strange_Evil]

RDR was my favorite game last gen! Knowing Rockstar, this is gonna be Epic!

[_-EDMIX-_]

Agreed. I'm such a nerd for westerns that anything they do is an easy day 1.

[lastking95]

Idkw but i get a max payne or new ip feeling.

[Nitrowolf2]

I'm sure it's red dead.

It's been confirmed over a year now, we just been waiting for an announcement

[lastking95]

True plus after gta v success, red dead seem like it woukd be the go to.

[seanpitt23]

RED dead and it's all gone red I think that's a big hint right there.

[Shotcalm]

probably just a RDR remaster

[Segata]

Which one? Two RDR games

[Livecustoms]

LETS GOOOOO BABY, Rockstars first true 8th gen game !

[oof46]

I hope it's a new Red Dead game. Red Dead Revolution?

[kraenk12]

I'm hoping they chose that name as well!

[oof46]

It was the only word beginning with R that I thought would fit.

[spicelicka]

Red Dead Retardation

[zivtheawesome]

it seems that many people on the internet think it is actually a ps4 exclusive. interesting.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

With absolutely nothing even hinting at that whatsoever.
If i was to say it was a Nintendo 3DS exclusive, i would have just as much credibility.

[zivtheawesome]

actually there was a rumor about it being a ps4 exclusive not long ago and in addition R* still owes sony an exclusive

[The 10th Rider]

As far as we know, Rockstar owes Sony nothing. Just because Agent fell through it doesn't mean Rockstar "owes" Sony anything. That's not how business works.

[Skankinruby]

I hope it's something new. A new red dead would be cool but I want a fresh game. Maybe the game Rockstar still owes sony, Agent or otherwise. If that was going to be a PSX announcement that would be insane.

[EazyC]

Cruel of them to utilise the red/weathered background that features so heavily in RDR if that's the case though.

[mafiahajeri]

It's about flippin time

[thegamefox93]

What are everyone's favorite rockstar developed games?
For me its:
1)Red Dead Redemption
2)GTA: Vice City
3)GTA III
4)GTA V
5)Max Payne 3
6)L.A. Noire

[Movefasta1993]

1)Vice City
2)Bully
3)GTA5
4)RDR
5)GTA4(the complete edition, including the dlc)

[Segata]

Space Silicon Valley

[gixer]

If it's a remaster then they better keep people from messing with the multiplayer servers this time. I was so happy when they made this backwards comparable for the Xbox One only to have not fixed the multiplayer servers from the modding wars that went on on there. Yes the single player is good enough but the poor people who maybe never bought it the first time get to experience only half its awesomeness. Rockstar should have sorted that first. Sick of games companies wanting to take your money for stuff that doesn't work the way it should. It's just pure laziness.

[Donnie81]

Manhunt 2 confirmed. Yesssss!

[seanpitt23]

No chance! as much as I liked the first 2 they will not make another manhunt the iP isn't big enough as the likes of red dead and gta. There speciality is open world and they are the masters of it.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Manhunt 2 happened years ago.

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

Can't wait 2 C it! 👍👍

[Relientk77]

This is exciting! We all know its gonna happen

[Blaze929]

Bompton

[Blu3_Berry]

I'm fairly positive that we will get a Red Dead Redemption 2 by this point BUT I really hope that we will get a remastered of Red Dead Redemption and maybe even port it to Steam. That will make everyone so happy.

[gbsrnctaln]

Westworld themed DLC please!

[OB1Biker]

Yea funny that tv show got me thinking about Red Dead even more these last couple of weeks. Really want that game to happen.

[Fullmetalevolust]

dat ist gut!

[xX_Altair_Xx]

https://twitter.com/_adamtu...

Suggesting that its GTAV DLC??

Edit: he works for Sony (Guerilla), if anyone's wondering.

[MasterCornholio]

That's got to be a joke.

I hope.......

[B1uBurneR]

i hope this is true and that they use checkerboard or dynamic scaling for future consoles.

[uth11]

They've probably just been hacked /s

[S-Word]

I'd rather have GTA6.

[Greyfoxdbz]

with all the speculation and hype for this to be red dead 2 i am going to say that it must be true because rockstar would have clarified by now if it wasn't in order to not disappoint so many people.

[theshredded]

RDR is more my style, I didn't like GTA4 and skipped GTAV all together but RDR has all my attention!

[ziggurcat]

Half-Life 3 confirmed!

[we420]

Hyped af. Still waiting on Bully 2 though

[CP_Company]

RDR remaster for PS4,PC and X.and in the next 2 years RDR 2 comes to life :) fingers crossed

[Segata]

You got RDR2. It was called Redemption.

[Dirtnapstor]

A new Red Dead please. And if they're coming out with a remastered RDR, I hope the quality is up there liken to the MW remaster!

[hiredhelp]

Could be trolling guys... :)

[BlaqMagiq1]

Hopefully a sequel and a remaster of the first Red Dead Redemption.

[Segata]

Revolver is the first.

[BlaqMagiq1]

This would b great on the new PS4 Pro.

[Nodoze]

DAY FREAKING 1 if it is!!!

[GoldPunch-TR]

I hope it would be a ps4 exclusive

[DEAGLETURK]

No way !!!

[TheBurger29]

That would be so stupid, screwing over tons of gamers is not a great thing. Hopefully its on all 3 systems.

[TomKnowles]

Why? Limiting the amount of people that can play the game is never a good thing.

[Sevir]

Can they give us Agent already? Like holy crap! I don't care if it's multiplatform, but damn it, NEW IP >>>>>> SEQUEL... especially this sequel...

[wutang4ever]

just take my money now

[Kocurstvo]

Confirmed RDR2 https://www.facebook.com/ph...

[Segata]

Redemption is 2.

[jensen86]

I cant wait n better yet i hope its got sum vr elements thatd b sik

[DarkMeans]

What if...out of nowhere Rockstar gives us another Manhunt??

[on_line_forever]

i hope they use all the power of PS4 pro and XBOX scorpion

[SCW1982]

I don't think that image could be anymore obvious what it means. So pumped Red Dead Retribution baby!

[danbury90]

Wonder if they will show a teaser/trailer at the PlayStation event in December

[BlakHavoc]

Omg! If this releases in the next few months it will skyrocket to the top of my most anticipated list.

[BlakHavoc]

To everyone saying it's probably a remaster or something else, R* wouldn't troll their fan base that hard. With something so subtle yet so obvious its clear that they knew what they're doing. Message received and the hype is real, get ready folks!

[opinionated]

Nice. I just loaded RDR on my slim yesterday.

[Redx165]

At last.

I started to lose hope with Rockstar since they haven't released a new game in 3 years. Let's just hope it doesn't take till 2018 to release it.

[sullynathan]

wonder where and when they will announce this game. LOL, only R* can generate this much hype from a red image.

[V0LT]

Here let me start my own rumor. Red Dead is going to be exclusive to the NX

[Trekster_Gamer]

Bring on Red Dead III....!!!!

It is way overdue!!

I wish they would do stories from famous westerns and be able to interact with famous characters...

Mission editor...

Choose between 1st and 3rd person

[Profchaos]

I can't wait rockstars first real next gen or current gen game

[its_JEFF]

Why are so many hype comments getting flagged as "inappropriate"

[Night99]

Rockstar is obviously teasing a Gears of War sequel ;D ................

[contradictory]

I'd love both a remake of RDR and a sequel actually.. Never finished the game due to things happening in reality.

I could do that right now but i guess i'm waiting for what's gonna happen with these rumors and whatnot. If it'll get Uncharted 1-3 treatment of being ported over, enhanced and still being able to run on 60fps then i'll throw money at it.

[saimcheeda]

I'd rather it be a new game. Like Agent which we never got!

[Tzuno]

I've learned not to be hyped anymore.
