'Red Dead Redemption 2' PS Neo News: Next Installment To Launch On Next-Gen Console? [VIDEO]

It is undeniable that Red Dead Redemption is one of Rockstar Games' most successful titles. Being a critical and commercial triumph, it was only a matter of time before the developer releases a sequel to the highly-acclaimed title.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Rumors

True to form, Rockstar Games has released almost no concrete details about the upcoming sequel to the popular Western-themed open-world shooter. While the developer did assure fans that the franchise will exist for a long time, Rockstar has been very mum about the progress of Red Dead Redemption 2's development.

The rumor mill has been quick to make up for the lack of concrete information from the developer, however, with many speculations stating that the RDR2 would feature a more massive map and a much bigger storyline than its predecessor. Apart from this, rumors have also emerged stating that Red Dead Redemption 2 would feature multiple protagonists, just like Rockstar's other blockbuster title, Grand Theft Auto V.

Red Dead Redemption 2 To Officially Be Unveiled Soon?

With Rockstar confirmed to be making an appearance on Sony's upcoming PlayStation event this September, many fans are speculating that the developer would utilize the event as a venue to announce Red Dead Redemption 2. This is actually very likely to happen, since the time does seem right for Rockstar to release a much-needed follow-up to the 2010 hit game.

Thus, if rumors to prove to be accurate, Rockstar Games would soon make Red Dead Redemption 2 official. Within this coming month, avid fans of the franchise would probably be able to see glimpses of the follow-up title for the first time.

Red Dead Redemption 2 as a PlayStation Neo Exclusive?

With Rockstar probably announcing Red Dead Redemption 2 during Sony's PlayStation event this September, speculations are high that the upcoming game would probably be one of the featured titles of the PlayStation Neo, which is also set to be unveiled in the event. While official announcements are scarce about what exactly Rockstar plans to unveil in September, the chances of Red Dead Redemption 2 being one of the highlights of the event are very significant.

In a lot of ways, it does make sense for Red Dead Redemption 2 to be a PS Neo exclusive, at least during its launch. At this point in the console gaming world, golden developers like Rockstar can determine the success and failure of a gaming machine. Thus, in order to counter the onslaught of the Xbox One S and the upcoming Xbox Scorpio, Sony might utilize a title such as Red Dead Redemption 2 as a trump card for the PlayStation Neo.
