Although there was an 8-year gap between Red Dead Redemption and its sequel, fans can now only wait for any update on the upcoming release. RDR 2 revolutionized the gaming industry when it launched and we expect nothing less from Rockstar when it comes to any upcoming release.

Rockstar Games is currently pouring their efforts into the development of Grand Theft Auto 6. Considering GTA 6’s expected release in 2024-25. It is safe to say that a new Red Dead Redemption game is likely several years away, with some speculating it might not arrive until the launch of next-gen consoles.
