"Red Dead Redemption 2," the most awaited sequel to the 2010 game, is rumored to be unveiled at the upcoming E3 event, happening in June 2016.
According to News Everyday, Rockstar Games is already planning to reveal the "Red Dead Redemption" sequel, as well as working on something more for its most loyal fans. However, before fans can even celebrate this prospect, Lainie Goldstein, Take-Two Interactive's CFO, said that it's expecting Rockstar Games and 2k Games to split revenue, with the latter getting three-fourths of the pie.
As such, even if the game is as good as confirmed, the release won't be within this year because of this, much to everyone's disappointment. After all, this doesn't only apply to "Red Dead Redemption 2," but also to other projects being done by Rockstar Games. Gamespot highlighted the fact that Rockstar will have no new games in their current fiscal year, which runs from April 2016 to March 2017. Regardless of this, Take-Two Interactive assures everyone that Rockstar Games is still at work with their new game titles.
Fortunately, some of Rockstar Game's more famous titles like "Grand Theft Auto V" will ensure a steady amount of income for Take-Two even without any new releases. Couple that with the fact that "GTA Online" also earns revenue from microtransactions, as well as back catalog sales, which will surely help revitalize Rockstar Games.
"Red Dead Redemption" was released in 2010, and in the last few months, various rumors on its sequel have been circulating on the internet. Some of them were dismissed as fake, but a lot of them are simply hard to dismiss because of their apparent legitimacy. One of these include the alleged leak of a map for the game, and according to Tech Radar via an independent source, it even has a map that actually looks legitimate, as well as a confirmation that the game will be a prequel to the first game.
