A New Red Dead Redemption Remaster May Be Riding Your Way

by

It looks like we might be entering a new era reminiscent of the Wild West – a time many have dreamed of, or perhaps are discovering for the first time.

Rumors are circulating this week that Rockstar Games might be working on a remastered version of the original Red Dead Redemption. This would update the classic story of John Marston for current gaming consoles with improved graphics and features.

A New Age for an Old West Classic?

Fans recently spotted a new rating for the original Red Dead Redemption on the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website.

The game’s content rightfully earns its “Mature 17+” rating due to the presence of violence, nudity, strong language, and depictions of drug use within the story.

The biggest surprise was the list of consoles the game will be available on: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

That single discovery caused a huge reaction from the community, with many people wondering if a remastered version of the game might be coming. As a Red Dead fan, I can say that’s what we’ve all been hoping for – second only to a sequel, Red Dead Redemption 3, of course. You can see the listing for yourself below:

It’s easy to see why people are so thrilled about this. Imagine playing through John Marston’s story with the same stunning graphics and smooth gameplay as Red Dead Redemption 2 – that’s what many fans have always wanted for this classic Western game.

Plus, the ESRB description reveals the game is an open-world action-adventure where you play as a former criminal who hunts down bandits and fights zombies. This strongly suggests that our favorite Undead Nightmare expansion is included in this enhanced version.

Are we likely to see a remastered version of Red Dead Redemption? More importantly, do you think a remaster of this beloved game is actually necessary?

Red Dead Redemption first launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was later updated to play on PlayStation 4 (and PlayStation 5) and became accessible through Xbox’s backward compatibility feature.
