[Ucah8er]

Just making this to compile possible news. It's sometimes hard to find.
There will be a clear separation between official R* word and other sources and supposed "leaks"

That's all there is for now. I will follow up the R* news and other sources and update this thread when necessary.

We can't even get any write up info on GTA5 let alone another RDR story.

[Mandalore]

I'm looking forward to another Red Dead game more than GTA V to be perfectly honest. Rockstar really outdone themselves with RDR and I'd love to see how they can improve on it.

There is absolutely no official info on a planned 3rd Red Dead but maybe we can get some discussion going on it anyway. 

[Newaustin98]

Who knows disscusion could make R* think about making another more.

[Casteyn]

Rockstar would just be foolish not to make another Red Dead! Instant money maker for them. I believe they are working on it right now. I thought we might get a hint about it at E3 this year, but now that GTA has been pushed to September...

I'm sure they want all focus to be on GTA right now, but once it releases, I think we're gonna star hearing more about Red Dead Next

[Ferguson99]

even when GTA5 is released......surely rockstar games ain't gonna be working on RDR3 (wooh wait a min RDR3 what about 2)

GTA5 is going to keep us going for months & months if not a couple of years, theres obviously going to be add on packs (DLC) for it......like tonnes over the next coming months after the release like tonnes of DLC's.

[Casteyn]

Ferguson, I'd bet you a dollar to a donut they are already deep into making this game. It takes years to develop a game. GTAV will come out in September, a spring release for RDR3 would be perfect IMO. That would give R* six months space for DLCs, etc. Hell, LA Noire came out when I was still fully ensconced in RDR.

For sure  At the very least, storylines & general concepts, will be in planning + R* San Diego (the studio mainly responsible for RDR) were advertising positions for next gen software engineers to "build the next generation of open world games". Not to mention that a company as high up in the food chain as Rockstar will have had access to alpha & beta devkits for Durango & Orbis for some time now, so I would imagine they are quite a way into coding for the new devices.

My theory is that R* will release a title or two for nextBox & PS4 before RD3 though, something along the lines of Agent & Bully 2. This is because they are likely to want to get to grips with the capabilities of the new consoles and iron out issues with the implementations of RAGE & Euphoria etc on the new platforms before releasing a title as important as Red Dead 3 - kinda how I envisage them taking what they've built with Max Payne 3 and learning what works and what wasn't as successful as it could have been and then implementing this into GTAV.

Red Dead Revolver = 1
Red Dead Redemption = 2
Red Dead ? = 3

[JustWarmingUp]

Take-Two has 'extensive pipeline' of unannounced titles in development

 

[Ferguson99]

Its been a fun 3 years on red dead.......but we all know no ones going to be bothered about it when Grand Theft Auto 5 is out.

because by the looks of things what we seen and heard of GTA5 its going to be so much bigger we are going to be on it for double the amount of years compared to RDR.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Hinted by Take-Two’s CEO

A sequel to the renowned open-world Red Dead Redemption may happen in the months to come.

Speaking during Take-Two’s Q1 FY14 earnings results last night, CEO Strauss Zelnick said that as a publisher their goal is “to try to create permanent franchises”.

“Our competitors do not see it that way. Our competitors’ view is that our franchise will have a certain life, and at the end of that life, you move onto the next thing, so you better make hay while the sun shines. Our view is to the contrary. The best franchises are permanent franchises.

“Outside of our business you can look at James Bond, for example. And it’s been our goal not just to preserve and grow the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but also to build other franchises that we think can be permanent, whether that’s the Red Dead franchise or the Borderlands franchise or the BioShock franchise or others, Civilization, for example.”

Zelnick then went on to reference BioShock, Borderlands and Red Dead Redemption as “permanent franchises”.

Red Dead Redemption sold 13 million copies within the first two years of release. BioShock Infinite and Borderlands 2 on the other hand have sold 4 million and 7 million units respectively.
