For a while now the Read Expressionless Redemption 2 community has maligned the lack of updates (both news and content) from developer Rockstar Games. It has been so long that many fans have begun making memes and jokes about the look and whether Red Dead Redemption Online might always become new content.

Just while there has not been anything official from Rockstar Games, rumors and leaks suggest there might be a reason for the lack of Red Dead Online updates. And if these rumors are truthful, the waiting might exist worth it.

Red Expressionless Remake

While nil is confirmed, the strongest rumor is that a Ruddy Dead Redemption remake is in the works for current-gen (and potentially next-gen platforms). At that place has been speculation that RDR might eventually come to PC for a long fourth dimension, but that never happened. However, at present information technology seems Rockstar is ready to give the fans what they desire.

What makes this different than but a simple port or remake is that this will allegedly be added to Red Expressionless Redemption 2. The foundation for calculation Red Dead 1 content into Red Dead 2 has been in the game since information technology launched, with players able to visit familiar landscapes from the prior game. When players first saw Mexico and a few other notable locations, the assumption was that they would eventually cistron into Red Expressionless Online, simply instead, they have gone relatively unused.

A remake of Red Expressionless Redemption would be a massive undertaking for Rockstar Games and is potentially what is keeping the Cherry-red Dead Online team and so busy. If it is real, and then the remake could likewise make up for the lack of meaningful updates to the game.

Ruby-red Dead 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X

Another possibility for the lack of Ruddy Dead Online updates is a potential next-gen port for Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games has already confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 5 is making the jump to PS5 and Xbox Series X when the consoles launch holiday 2020, whatever many are wondering if Red Dead Redemption 2 volition become the same treatment.

Granted, Grand Theft Machine five is one of the best-selling and near popular video games of all time, and fifty-fifty though Crimson Dead 2 was well-received and sold well, it pales in comparison. Nevertheless, if Rockstar plans to keep supporting Red Dead Online through futurity updates (whenever they release), and so it would make sense that the game moves onto PS5 and Xbox Serial X too.

Like a hypothetical remake, adjacent-gen ports would too occupy a lot of development time, equally the studio tries to accept advantage of the new consoles' increased power. The hope is that these ports would be more than just the PC version running on new hardware, simply even that would be an improvement for console.

Gamers could find out relatively soon if next-gen ports of Red Dead Redemption 2 are in the works at the Xbox Series X event in July. Much similar Rockstar chose to reveal GTA five at the PS5 gameplay event, it could share the wealth by debuting RDR two during the Xbox stream.

Rockstar Games Could Announce Both

It'southward also possible that both projects are in the works and are keeping Rockstar Games decorated. Next-gen ports seem similar a given only whether or non the rumors about a remake are truthful is up for fence. There is evidence to back up both sides, including a product list for three unlike Rockstar games (GTA 5, RDR 2, and the remake).

On the flip side, it's also possible that Rockstar Games has just dialed back its support for Crimson Dead Online. That would exist the most disappointing result for fans and active players, but it wouldn't be entirely unexpected. Red Dead Redemption ii released almost 2 years ago and at some point, developers need to movement onto new projects.
