Rockstar Games has apparently ditched the Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster 12 July 2022 by Richard Breslin According to a new rumour, Rockstar Games has now ditched plans to remaster the Red Dead Redemption 2, apparently. Back in May, reports were making the rounds that Rockstar Games was working on a remaster of Red Dead Redemption 2. This enhanced version of RDR2 was to release for PS5 as well as Xbox Series XS. Unfortunately, a new rumour claims that this version of Red Dead Redemption 2 is the latest remaster to be shelved by Rockstar Games. The claim is courtesy of Rockstar leaker, Tez2.ADVERT ADVERT More bad news Tez2 previously leaked information that Rockstar Games had also shelved plans to remaster the original Red Dead Redemption as well as GTA 4. It is claimed that Rockstar Games is shelving its remaster to have a complete focus on the development of GTA 6.

When asked whether it would be safe to assume that the RDR2 remaster won’t release, Tez2 replied: “Yes. I’ve heard about those a long time ago. As well as their plan to come up with an Enhanced Rockstar Editor. All cancelled/halted now.”ADVERT ADVERT That being said, while I believe in there’s no smoke without fire, Rockstar Games has never officially confirmed the remasters. So we must take the rumours with a pinch of salt. Per Tez2, it doesn't look like Rockstar Games wants to ship out a new enhanced version of #RedDeadRedemption2 for next-gen consoles anytime soon. It's an absolute crime to abandon this game over GTAV. pic.twitter.com/lZWsJTX8sq- Ben (@videotech_) July 7, 2022 It s not a good time to be an RDR fan The rumoured remaster cancellations of Red Dead Redemption add further woes to fans of the series. Just this week, Rockstar Games pretty much confirmed that Red Dead Online will no longer benefit from major content support, unlike GTA Online. Personally, as a fan of the series, I would have loved to have seen enhanced versions of the RDR games. I hope that Rockstar Games may return to its plans for the remasters, but I won’t be holding my breath.ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Rockstar Games Are you disappointed that we might not get a remaster of Red Dead Redemption 2?
