Game leaks are nothing new, but leaking a game as the side effect of leaking another game is pretty novel. According to an alleged Rockstar Employee, not only is the 2010 open world cowboy romp getting all prettied up, but we don't even have to wait long until it launches.
You may have spotted our recent coverage of a pair of AMA / "ask me anything" sessions on 4Chan, hosted by someone claiming to be a primary developer at Rockstar Games. The main subject of the leak threads was the unannounced but inevitable Grand Theft Auto 6. Amid all the alleged details this person knew, they casually dropped news of a Red Dead Redemption remaster that will be released before GTA 6.
Since the leaker also stated that October 2023 is the projected release window for the GTA title, that means this Red Dead Remaster will saddle up sooner - provided this isn't a hoax, that is. The beauty of this leak is that is doesn't even need to be legitimate for this prediction to come true.
Considering how frequent AAA remasters have become nowadays, a Red Dead Redemption remaster just seems like a good business decision no matter how you slice it - especially if it finally brings the game to PC as well - so there very well may such a project in the works, regardless of how true this particular leak is.
Red Dead Redemption is a classic open-world wild west adventure game, following John Marston's journey to, well, redemption. The characters and story became memorable hits and the series built a major fanbase, with an even bigger blockbuster prequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, having been released recently.
