It seems that the developers will still update RDR 2.
Recently, Rockstar Games once again reminded players about Red Dead Redemption, but with a completely different announcement. The first part will appear on iOS and Android, as well as a native version for modern consoles PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
However, many fans have been waiting for a completely different announcement for a long time — there were rumors that an improved version of Red Dead Redemption 2 was being prepared.
Some community members suggested that the insider might have confused something and when he was talking about the re-release of RDR 2, he was actually talking about the first game.
However, insider NateTheHate, in response to criticism, stated: "This [re-release of RDR 1] does not cancel the release of [an improved version] of RDR 2." He did not specify a potential release window for the new version of the Rockstar game.
Another insider kiwitalkz also insists that an improved version of RDR 2 is indeed in the works, but also cannot name an approximate release date:
I don't know the exact release date, Rockstar does whatever it wants, and the developers I know don't set a release date, they have no control over it. Maybe they will release [improved RDR 2] in the next 6 months, or maybe we have to wait 3 years, who knows this Rockstar
