Red Dead Redemption Remasters Reportedly In Development

According to new rumours, Red Dead Redemption as well as its sequel are reportedly in development for new-gen consoles.

Only recently we heard rumours that Red Dead Redemption 2 was currently in development for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, fresh rumours have claimed that the original RDR is also in development for new-gen systems.

Pour répondre à plusieurs MP d'une traite, oui, comme j'ai pu le confirmer à la fin de l'année 2020, un portage next-gen de #RDR2 est bien en cours depuis plusieurs mois chez Rockstar. Avec un projet de remaster/remake du premier RDR. Le portage de RDR2 devait (1/2) pic.twitter.com/3IIKYyxLjd

à la base être annoncé bien plus tôt. L’annonce aurait été visiblement décalée pour le remaster/remake de RDR. Je n’en sais pas plus, si ce n’est que le projet serait toujours d’actualité et que visiblement il ne porte pas le nom “Outlaws Collection”.

We’d love to see RDR remade!

French journalist, Chris Klippel of the Rockstar Mag website, has previously claimed in 2020 that the remasters/remakes are in the works. However, in a tweet to offer an update, Klippel claims that the remasters/remakes are still planned by Rockstar Games.

Klippel also claims that the new-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2 was supposed to be announced already before the focus was shifted to the remake of the original game.

Does RDR2 need a remaster?

Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption remake have been around for quite some time, and show no signs of going anyway anytime soon.

Personally, I would love to see a full remake of the original game powered by the sequel’s engine. That said, I hope that if RDR2 is remastered, owners of the 2019 release don’t have to shell out for a full-priced game. Though I won’t hold my breath.
