It's been five long years since the release of "Red Dead Redemption."
Now, fans are clamoring to get their hands on a second installment to the hit title.
And while Rockstar has yet to announce an official statement to the open world game's release date, the giant gaming studio has reportedly revealed its plans for a "Red Dead Redemption 2."
"It's wonderful to see so much excitement and enthusiasm for the 'Red Dead' series, and nearly 5 years after 'Red Dead Redemption's' release," the official blog site claimed. "As we've mentioned when asked in the past about new games in other series such as 'Red Dead Redemption,' 'Bully' and 'L.A. Noire,' we don't always rush to make sequels, but that does not mean we won't get to them eventually. We have so many games we want to make and the issue is always one of bandwidth and timing."
Take Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick on the other hand explained to Game Spot that things should not be rushed.
Instead he wanted to make sure that everything is well planned out before announcing the release date of "Red Dead Redemption 2."
"The risk of just [releasing more games] is that you end up just bulking up your release schedule and that isn't really what consumers want," Zelnick said. "Consumers want better, not more. So our selective approach, which we've taken since '07 I think has paid off. Now, we have gotten more by taking that approach; we've launched one new successful franchise every year and I would like to keep doing that particularly because I talk about permanent franchises, but not everything is going to be a permanent franchise. Some of our great franchises eventually will lose their luster and some will hopefully be permanent."
Well at least there's a concrete update as to what will happen with "Red Dead Redemption 2," unlike the equally highly anticipated "GTA 6."
