Rockstar Games teases sequel for Red Dead Redemption

Brace yourself gamers, it looks like we may be getting another taste of the Wild West soon.

Rockstar Games, the studio behind game titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Max Payne put out a cryptic tweet on October 16. The tweet was a red and black version of Rockstar’s logo, as opposed to the usual yellow/black theme, which has also been set as the new profile picture across all their social media accounts. In addition, the company’s news release page had a similar minimalist entry.

Fans believe this is a clear teaser for a possible game sequel, “Red Dead Redemption 2”, with the tweet garnering over 99 thousand retweets at the time of writing. Of course, the indications here are not a stretch at all. Not only do the red and black themes feature prominently in the open-world RPG Western, but it also fits Rockstar’s previous release patterns.

UPDATE: Rockstar also tweeted an illustration of seven characters with a red background, which could possibly be the concept art for the sequel to Red Dead Redemption.

It was not too long ago that FragHero spotted a leak that pointed to RDR2’s development, and rumours emerged the title would be called Red Dead Renegades. If the teaser is indeed legit, we can expect to see an update on a trailer by the end of the week.
