Will there ever be a Red Dead Redemption 2? Only Rockstar and Take-Two knows the answer to that question.

Fans of Red Dead Redemption have been urging for a PC port, and another installment in the series. Unfortunately, Take-Two and Rockstar have yet to deliver on either of the requests, but recent comments from Take-Two’s CEO make at least the latter seem to be apparent.

At the Cowen and Company Analyst conference, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke about the company’s strategy of being extremely selective concerning what games it releases, unlike many of its publishing competitors, which flood the market with all sorts of content in hopes of hitting every demographic.

“The risk of just [releasing more games] is that you end up just bulking up your release schedule and that isn’t really what consumers want. Consumers want better, not more,” stated the CEO. “So our selective approach, which we’ve taken since ’07 I think has paid off. Now, we have gotten more by taking that approach; we’ve launched one new successful franchise every year and I would like to keep doing that particularly because I talk about permanent franchises, but not everything is going to be a permanent franchise. Some of our great franchises eventually will lose their luster and some will hopefully be permanent.”

Zelnick referenced games such as Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto, and Red Dead as permanent franchises. The only problem with this is that Borderlands and Grand Theft Auto have already had sequels, and additional online content published for them, whereas Red Dead Redemption has not, since 2011.

“I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent. 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,” - Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick

It’s interesting that Zelnick chose to point out Red Dead as a permanent franchise. Though Rockstar has been very quiet on the Red Dead series, the sales reports and the fan base more than prove that the series is in need of a sequel, or a new story in the Wild West.

Many fans who have love for Rockstar understand that with the recent success of Grand Theft Auto, they must make that the priority, yet others would disagree.

Are you in agreement with the CEO?, or do you have a different view? Let us know.
