It seems like more and more clues are surfacing online regarding the alleged remaster ofRed Dead Redemption. Even though no official announcement has yet been made by Rockstar, the latest evidence has undoubtedly piqued the interest of fans worldwide, many of them believing that a remastered edition ofthe award-winning gameis in the works.Originally released in 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360,Red Dead Redemptionfollows the story of the charismatic gunslinger and former outlaw, John Marston, as he is forced to work with the government and seek redemption for his past actions. Since the story ofRDRtakes place just a few yearsafter the events ofRed Dead Redemption 2it acts as a direct sequel toRDR2’s narrative timeline. Unfortunately, Rockstar never released a PC port or even a remastered version for the newer consoles, leaving many gamers unable to properly witness the epic end of the Van der Linde gang saga.RELATED:Red Dead Redemption 2 Bug Gets a Bale of Hay Stuck on Arthur’s ArmDespite that, many fans of the popular wild-west-themed video game are excited by the reveal of a new clue that potentially points toward aRed Dead Redemptionremaster, asRDR’s Achievement Art has recently received a new visual upgrade via Rockstar’s Social Club. While at first glance this doesn’t seem like a big deal, it’s worth mentioning that a similar thing has happened in the past, when theGTA Trilogy Definitive Editionwas first leaked by dataminers who discovered new achievement art for the games in question.
Another rumor that supportsRDR’s remaster theory involves the South Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee, which recentlypublished a new rating forRed Dead Redemption, even though ratings for the original versions of the game already existed in Korea. This interesting move occurred at the request of Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company.
Rockstar is currently busy working on its highly anticipated project,Grand Theft Auto 6. That being said, it seems that the developer may have another surprise up its sleeves, as all the previously mentioned leaks point toward aRed Dead Redemptionremaster. Seeing howRDR2has achieved a remarkable milestoneby selling over 50 million copies worldwide, it is safe to say that theRed Deadfranchise has solid appeal in the eyes of many gamers. Considering this success, anRDRremaster would undoubtedly further solidify the franchise’s position in the gaming industry.
