Red Dead Redemption Remake Remaster News: Release Date Rumours, and Everything We Know

August 18, 2022

As of May 2022, Red Dead Redemption has sold 44 million units worldwide putting the action-adventure title firmly in the list of best-selling video games of all time. But with Rockstar Games cooling their interest in content for Red Dead Online, and seemingly no word on any Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC, it’s unclear what the developer is planning next for the hit series.

What does seem somewhat clear is that there’s an appetite from fans for a full blow remake or remaster of the original Red Dead Redemption. Perhaps in the same vein as what Naughty Dog has achieved with The Last of Us Remake, which seems to have built on the work of The Last of Us: Part 2 to help bring the original game up to 2022 standards.

Are Rockstar Games developing a Red Dead Redemption Remake? What about a Remaster? Read on for everything you need to know.

18 Aug Update - Checked for the latest Red Dead Redemption Remake news.  All the most recent updates are found just below.

Red Dead Redemption Remake/Remaster – Release Date

At the time of writing there is no release date for a Red Dead Redemption Remake or Remaster. Despite plenty of speculation and rumours (more on that below) Rockstar Games have not confirmed that development is underway on any such project.

As mentioned, there’s been plenty of rumours suggesting something is in the works, most of which can be foud on the latest news section below. However, for the time being, it’s impossible to say when we could see a Red Dead Redemption Remaster or Remake release since it’s both unclear if the project is in development or how far along Rockstar Games could be.

We’ll be sure to update this section as we learn more. But for now, read the news below for the latest updates.

Latest News

According to reliable Rockstar insider Tez2, Rockstar was internally discussing the possibility of releasing remasters of Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV, but these plans were eventually scrapped.

“As per a reliable source with clear accuracy on Rockstar plans, remasters of GTA IV and RDR1 were on the table a few years ago, but Rockstar chose not to proceed with the projects in mind,” Tez2 tweeted.

It seems the decision to scrap these plans were in part related to the terrible releases of the GTA Trilogy last year, with Tez2 adding, “The poor reception of the Trilogy DE might be a reason behind that decision”.

In a follow-up message Tez2 also clarified that neither Red Dead Redemption nor GTA IV were in production, but that after the poor reception to the trilogy, they simply decided not to move forward with further plans.

Remasters of IV & RDR1 weren’t in production, simply in the ideas phase and remained there for years.

Rockstar’s plan was to start with the Trilogy and follow up with IV & RDR1.

The decision to greenlight more depended on the initial reception of the Trilogy.

Take-Two Interactive, who own Rockstar Games, has announced in their latest financial report that it plans on releasing eight “new iterations of previously released titles” between now and FY 2025.

This would be essentially referring to ports, remasters, and remakes up until March 31, 2025. Could Red Dead Redemption be one of them? Quite possibly, but just keep in mind that this could also mean games from 2K and Private Division, such as Mafia, Bioshock, Borderlands and more.

French journalist Chris Klippel, who runs the Rockstar Mag news site, has reported that Rockstar are working on both a remake of the first Red Dead Redemption, and a next-gen port of Red Dead Redemption 2.

à la base être annoncé bien plus tôt. L’annonce aurait été visiblement décalée pour le remaster/remake de RDR. Je n’en sais pas plus, si ce n’est que le projet serait toujours d’actualité et que visiblement il ne porte pas le nom «Outlaws Collection».

Wait & see ! (2/2)

As reported by Comicbook, ‘industry insider’ AccountNGT has now claimed that a remaster of Red Dead Redemption is in the works at Rockstar. Beyond the leaks for Star Wars Eclipse last year, we’ve not seen anything else to suggest how reliable this particular ‘insider’ might be with their reports, but it’s worth keeping in mind and this update with a pinch of salt.

‘Insider’ AccountNGT previously leaked the existence of Star Wars Eclipse before it was officially announced by Quantic Dream, and now he has suggested that the Red Dead Redemption Remake could be announced by the close of the year.

Writing on Twitter the leaker suggested that the chances are “Pretty high for an announcement” but not for a release.

Despite Rumors, The Red Dead Redemption Remake Needs to Happen

Rumors are circulating that Rockstar has shelved a Red Dead Redemption remake, and if that is true then it needs to be put back into development.

Rumors have begun circulating that Rockstar Games may have quietly shelved a remake of Red Dead Redemption that it had been working on. This is apparently due to the fact that the studio wants all hands on deck for Grand Theft Auto 6 and the poor reception of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition. Around the time that these rumors cropped up, Rockstar announced that it had no plans for any more major updates to Red Dead Online. This means that fans of the Red Dead Redemption franchise have nothing to look forward to, and the studio has put its entire focus on Grand Theft Auto 6.

While Grand Theft Auto 6 may be a great game when it comes out, the possible cancellation of a Red Dead Redemption remake is not fair to the many fans of the franchise. Both Red Dead Redemption games were groundbreaking, and they have garnered a significant fanbase that has been left with nothing. All that they can do is replay the story modes of both games, or mess around in an online mode that will no longer get new content. On top of that, the first game in the series came out 12 years ago and was just waiting for the remake treatment, which Rockstar needs to deliver.

Red Dead Redemption is Dated Compared to its Prequel

Red Dead Redemption came out in 2010 and was a huge critical success. It was the first time that players were introduced to John Marston and the Dutch Van der Linde Gang, and is still considered to be one of the best Wild West games ever made. The world that Rockstar constructed was beautiful, the story was heart-wrenching, and the gameplay was engaging. Players fell in love with the colorful cast of characters and spent hours living out their Wild West dreams.

Eight years later, Rockstar finally delivered on a sequel to the award-winning title. However, the studio chose to craft a prequel to the game instead of continuing where the last one left off. Players were put in the shoes of Arthur Morgan during the downfall of the Dutch Van der Linde gang, and the players instantly fell in love. The world that Rockstar built for the prequel was even more expansive than the first game, and it came even closer to feeling like a real-life version of the Old West. The game world felt alive and lived in, the story was even more wild, and the cast of characters all felt lifelike. While the first game gave players a beautiful world to explore, the prequel took things to the next level and gave players a world that felt ripped straight from a Western.

The evolution of the Red Dead Redemption franchise is great for the players, and they can only dream about what how lifelike the third entry will be. However, the huge differences in mechanics and graphics makes the transition from the prequel to the original kind of jarring. If players want to play the games chronologically then they have to start in the newer Red Dead Redemption 2 before going to the sometimes dated feeling Red Dead Redemption. The older feel of the first game can put off some players who may want to experience its story, and a remake could have fixed this issue. Giving it the same paint job as the second game could have made the transition far less jarring, and would have opened the game up to a far bigger audience.

Some Remake Work Has Already Been Done

Remaking the first Red Dead Redemption in the style of the second would be a lot of work, but some of that work has already been done. Red Dead Redemption 2 gave players a far bigger game world to explore that encompasses newer parts of the country with some familiar parts. The majority of the story took place in the new states of New Hanover, Ambarino, and Lemoyne. If players wanted to, they could also take a trip to the towns from the first game. Rockstar rebuilt the map of the first game inside the game world of the second, albeit with a few changes.

Rockstar Games has also created a playable model of John Marston inside Red Dead Redemption 2. Once players finish the story of the second game, they are put in control of Marston for the epilogue chapter. They have to build the ranch that Marston’s family lives in during Red Dead Redemption, and attempt to put the crime lifestyle behind them. This means that the studio already has most of the game world done and the playable character.

While it would still require some significant work on Rockstar Games part, some groundwork has already been laid. The studio would still have to make the towns look like how it did in Red Dead Redemption, add in Nuevo Paraiso, and recreate the story. The studio could use a lot of the assets that were found in Red Dead Redemption 2, and the remake could be completed in a much smaller timeframe.

Red Dead Deserves to Shine

Red Dead Redemption was a great game at the time, and it still is. Recently, it has become overshadowed by its predecessor, and it should not be. Red Dead Redemption 2 took the franchise to the next level and brought in many more players, but the first one also deserves recognition. It may be dated, but it started the Red Dead Redemption story and delivered its own heart-wrenching Old West story. The story of John Marston deserves to be witnessed by players, and a remake could have done just that.

Rockstar Games has given Grand Theft Auto fans so much content to explore, and it needs to do the same with Red Dead fans. Grand Theft Auto 5 has been re-released multiple times and has gotten remastered. Now, the future of Red Dead Redemption has apparently been put on hold so that Rockstar can make a whole new Grand Theft Auto game. That is great news for Grand Theft Auto players, but there is no reason that Red Dead players cannot have something to look forward to also. A full-on third entry may be out of the question, but a remake of the first game should not be.

Red Dead Redemption came out 12 years ago, and it is in need of a facelift. Not only would that help put it in-line with its prequel, but it would also give Red Dead fans something to look forward to as Red Dead Online stops getting new content. A remake of the first game could be a lot of fun, and Rockstar should not shelve it in favor of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Red Dead Redemption is available now for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Instead of Red Dead Redemption 3, a new video appeared on the network, in which all players were shown the new Red Dead Redemption game and were shocked by the level of graphics.

A remake of Red Dead Revolver, not the first Red Dead Redemption game made by Rockstar Games , posted online, and is just over 2 minutes long. During this time, many different regions were shown in the style of the Wild West. The video also features the main character Red Harlow, who has changed quite a lot compared to the original game Red Dead Revolver. In the video, he visits various places, participates in a duel, visits a saloon and more. It is worth noting that the shown remake of Red Dead Revolver in the style of Red Dead Redemption was created on the Unreal Engine 5.0003

YouTuber TeaserPlay is the author of the shown video. He created a concept trailer for the Red Dead Revolver remake to show how the game could look on the Unreal Engine 5 engine. The author of TeaserPlay has created quite a few concept trailers of various games lately. Moreover, the demonstration of the Red Dead Revolver remake is not the first in his performance. Previously, the YouTuber showed another version of how the updated Red Dead Redemption western could look like. The new video was received positively by the audience. Commentators noted that they hope to someday see an official remake of the first part from Rockstar.

At the moment, the latest game in the series is Red Dead Redemption 2 , which was released in 2018. Fans are also hoping for a Red Dead Redemption 3 game, but the developers at Rockstar haven’t said anything about it yet.

Unreal Engine 5 remake of Red Dead Redemption sends Rockstar into a stupor

Red Dead Redemption remake fan-made trailer shows what John Marston’s critically acclaimed journey through the Old West, powered by Unreal Engine 5, could look like. Epic has begun implementing Unreal Engine 5 has been in Fortnite since last year’s Chapter 3, and developers like BioWare and Hangar 13 are said to have already started using the new engine in the development of games like Mass Effect 5 and the recently announced Mafia 4.0003

Unreal Engine 5 was fully launched in April, allowing indie developers and gamers to start creating their own impressive projects using brand new 4K compatible technology. Some have used Unreal Engine 5 to create open world games featuring Superman and Spider-Man. Others have recreated iconic locations from games like World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, and even PS1-era cult classic Dino Crisis on Unreal Engine 5. controversy GTA: The Trilogy — Definitive Edition. The impressive demos of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto 5 arguably surpassed Rockstar’s efforts to bring their classic open-world games into the modern era of gaming. It looks like Grand Theft Auto isn’t the only Rockstar-developed blockbuster that fans are remastering in Unreal Engine 5. 0003

Twitter user and Xbox rumor hunter Idle Sloth recently shared an impressive fan-made trailer for a hypothetical Red Dead Redemption remake. This short video was created by ENFANT TERRIBLE, a YouTube channel that has previously wowed viewers with Unreal Engine 5-developed trailers for Alien: Isolation and The Last Of Us. Here, John Marston roams a near-photorealistic version of the original Red Dead Redemption’s western landscape and engages in slow-motion gunfights with stunning character models and visuals.

Interestingly, this awesome Red Dead Redemption fan-made trailer comes amid rumors that Rockstar is looking to update the equally successful Red Dead Redemption 2 for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Though the idea re-creating Arthur Morgan’s journey through the open world of the American South in the late 1800s with modern graphics and advanced features such as haptic feedback controllers is exciting to many, some players are wary given the incredibly poor reception and numerous technical issues GTA: The Trilogy — Definitive Edition.
