"Red Dead Redemption 2" will be released in the fourth quarter of 2016 and gamers will have the chance to view the upcoming game at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, which will be held in California at the Los Angeles Convention Center, according to MNR.
In 2010, the release of the original was a success and Rockstar Games' second installment is highly anticipated by fans all over the world. Critics say that the challenge now for the New York based developer, is to make the sequel better in terms of storyline, gameplay and all the other things that are important to the fans and gamers.
Strauss Zelnick, who is the CEO of Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive, has confirmed that the video game has a sequel and is considered a permanent franchise.
"I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent," shared Zelnick. "It's obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that 'Red Dead' is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others."
Zelnick has been asked a number of times why Rockstar does not annualize its game titles. The CEO explained that non-sport titles are best served not on an annual basis because it creates higher demand and anticipation from gamers, revealed the Master Herald.
Rumors of "Red Dead Redemption 2's" setting have been circulating on the web. Some believe that it will be in Japan but the game has always focused on the Old West. Other fans say that more states will be added in the new sequel, including Louisiana, South Dakota, Mexico, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Colorado, reported Latinos Health.
"Red Dead Redemption 2" is slated for release on Oct. 2016 and will be available on different platforms, including PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
