New Red dead redemption 2 teaser has set the games world in a spin.There have been rumblings that Rockstar was working on a followup to the critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption for a while now, and it seems like the developer might finally be getting ready to pull back the veil. Rockstar’s official twitter account tweeted an image featuring its logo against an aged-looking red background, the lines around the “R” faded a bit to resemble a cattle brand. A bit mysterious if you’re not familiar with the series, of course, but pretty hard to recognize as anything but Red Dead if you are. Check it out below:

I’d read this as a pretty clear tease, and so does the internet gaming community. At this point, if Rockstar did anything but announce Red Dead Redemption 2 within a week or two, it would have no shortage of angry fans on its hands. Red Dead Redemption racked up its share of Game Of The Year Awards back in 2010 with its deft application ofGrand Theft Auto-style gameplay to the late 19th century American West, managing what’s become the definitive cowboy video game in the process. A sequel has been high on the list of the community’s demands ever since.
We’ve had investor notes and job listings pointing to a new title for a little while now, but this is by far the clearest signal we’ve received. The time between game announcements and release has been shrinking as of late — I wouldn’t be surprised if a new Red Dead Redemption game hit sometime in early spring. Stay tuned for what I imagine will be some new information very soon.
Worth nothing that whatever this game is ultimately called, it likely will not be Red Dead Redemption 2. Many forget that the first game in this series was called Red Dead Revolver, and so this third game will more likely than not be Red Dead Something Else: Read Dead Revolution, Read Dead Revenge, Red Dead Renovation, something like that.
