Those hoping for a sequel to be currently in the works by Red Dead Redemption developer Rockstar San Diego can get their tears ready now.
Alongside the studio laying off at least 40 people, Steve Martin (studio manager) released this statement:
“As is typical with game development, our team sizes have always fluctuated over the course of the development cycle. As Rockstar San Diego transitions from the launch of Red Dead Redemption onto future projects, we are realigning our resources in order to continue to develop games as effectively as possible.”
More interestingly, though, is this:
“We are ensuring that all employees who are affected by these changes are being treated with care. While we have no announcements to make regarding a sequel to Red Dead Redemption, the team here are hard at work on the development of downloadable content for the game.”
So, no sequel in the works. But honestly, who cares at the moment? Red Dead Redemption only launched last May, it was a massive hit worldwide and at PlayStation Future (I scored it a brilliant 9.2/10) and one free DLC has already been released, alongside four more in the coming six months.
