Red Dead Redemption 2
It isn’t often that a game is so highly anticipated and pretty much guaranteed to be so amazing that other developers are publicly expressing how happy they are that their own new titles aren’t in the same release window. Red Dead Redemption 2 was originally slated to release in 2017 but Rockstar delayed the release after explaining that they wanted a little more time to fine tune the game. Ubisoft CFO Alan Martinez was happy to hear about the delay saying that it would help make for a more “positive” fiscal year for Ubisoft and opens up a “better window for the launch of some of our games.”
It’s a comment that serves as a reminder of just how strong the fan base is for the first title and how eager new players seem to be to find out what all the hype is about. Outside of a few gorgeous screen shots from the game, some teaser images that were shared on Twitter, and just general fan knowledge about the first game that gives some sort of an idea about what direction a sequel game would go in, there actually isn’t much information about Red Dead Redemption 2 just yet. But sometimes just knowing that the first game was spectacular and being forced to wait roughly eight years for the next game is all you need to know to be excited for a franchise’s return.
