Rockstar Games is working on a remastered version of Red Dead Redemption, and not only that, it’s set to be announced “imminently,” and possibly as early as next month, according to Colin Moriarty, a former editor at IGN that now heads the Sacred Symbols podcast. Previous rumors that date back to February 2021 would suggest that this isn’t merely a remaster, but a full remake with RDR2-level graphics, and although evidence for that remains to be seen, South Korea has pretty much confirmed the existence of a new Red Dead Redemption game, having provided a rating for exactly that last month. Red Dead Redemption has only ever been released on PS3 and Xbox 360, but PC gamers have been able to enjoy the 2010 game thanks to emulation.
“I can say I have seen confirmation that this is real. I don’t think you need this confirmation, but I had someone reach out to me behind the scenes that showed me something that definitively shows this game is coming,” reads a quote shared by an IconEra poster. “Maybe even imminently with an announcement maybe in like August. So, not a huge surprise, you don’t need to tell you that South Korean ratings board doesn’t just rate things. They rate things that are submitted to them.”
