Summary
The evidence for theRed Dead Redemptionremaster continues to pile up, as an update on the Rockstar Games website has provided a fresh logo for the game. The originalRed Dead Redemptionreleased in 2010 to widespread critical acclaim. The 2018 follow-up was played by millions more people, however, and so it stands to reason that there is quite a sizable market for a take on the original game.
The originalRed Dead Redemption’s story actually takes place after the events ofRed Dead Redemption 2. Unfortunately, those interested in seeing what happens next in the story haven’t had many options at their disposal. Rockstar never released a PC version of the originalRed Dead Redemptiongame, and it has effectively remained trapped on the PS3 and Xbox 360, discounting the fact that the game ispart of the Xbox backward compatibility program.

Evidence continues to pile up that aRed Dead Redemptionremaster or remakemay be in the pipeline, and now we’ve received some of the most compelling evidence yet. Rockstar Games has updated its website to reference something calledRed Dead Redemption (Rockstar Presents Ver)with the codename RDR1RSP. This update has come complete with a brand-new logo that says “Rockstar Games PresentsRed Dead Redemption.” The official announcement still hasn’t come, but at this point it’s just a matter of time.
The choice to put “Rockstar Games Presents” in theRed Dead Redemptionlogo could be to reassure fans that the remaster, remake, or whatever it is, is a quality product. As some may recall,Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionwas severely criticizedat the time of its release. However, that collection was developed by Grove Street Games, not Rockstar directly, and so perhaps the studio has taken a more direct role with this new take onRed Dead Redemption.
There’s been plenty of evidence thatRed Dead Redemptionis making a comeback, though the jury is still out on what form it will take. Leakers and insiders believe that the release date for the game is “imminent,” so it honestly could happen any day now. Some fans may prefer if Rockstar kept its focus on developingGrand Theft Auto 6, but others will definitely be happy to reliveJohn Marston’s open world western adventure, especially if the new version of the game brings some significant improvements to the table that make it worthwhile to returning fans as well as newcomers.
Red Dead Redemptionis available for PS3 and Xbox 360.
