Is Red Dead Redemption 2 on its way already?
Red Dead Redemption 2 looks more likely than ever...
After the Cowen and Company Analyst conference at Gamespot which saw the CEO of Take-Two, (Producers of Red Dead) Strauss Zelnik categorize the original game a "permanent franchise"
"I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent," he said. "It's obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that Red Dead is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others." He also said a couple of things about the Bioshock franchise.
"We haven't given any colour on how you should think about (BioShock) yet except we do believe it's beloved; we think it's important (and) certainly something that we're focused on; something 2K Marin will be responsible for shepherding going forward," he continued. "I think there's a lot of upside in that franchise. It hasn't necessarily been realised yet."
Although, unsurprisingly, a new studio has been given the role of development following the collapse of Irrational, it's rather odd that "2K Marin" was picked for the role. Well you can say it developed BioShock 2, the release of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified was a huge disappointment, which led to pretty major layoffs.
Oh well...Take-Two has both Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel lined up for release, along with the mighty Evolve anyway, which CEO Zelnick said he has "very high hopes" will be a franchise of its own & make a name for itself.
