Although Rockstar have been keeping "Red Dead Redemption 2" under wraps, speculations say that the studio is indeed working on the forthcoming video game. In fact, it is believed that the said game will be released by October next year along with a PC version and three playable characters.

According to Crossmap, "Red Dead Redemption 2" might be available come October next year should everything goes smoothly. Rockstar is reportedly finalizing their plans for "GTA V," paving a way for them to focus on the upcoming game. And as long as the developers don't hit any road blocks during its development, fans can expect an October release.

The reason why it took so long for the sequel to appear was due to the fact that sequels don't appeal much to Rockstar Games, as reported by Latinos Health. They don't always "rush to make sequels;" however, that doesn't mean "we won't get to them eventually." The publication added that two of the maine issues were bandwidth and timing.

As for the title of the sequel, there has been no official release as of this writing. Nonetheless, rumor has it that Rockstar has been conceptualizing on the title for quite some time now and, if the rumors are to be true, the official title would be: "Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West."

Meanwhile, Yibada reported that the 2^nd "Red Dead Redemption" franchise will also be in PC version following the game consoles. Also, it will reportedly include the presence of three playable characters that are based from the success of "GTA V." The two main characters are Irish and Seth. The latter is believed to be brought up in Ireland, but will eventually move into the Americas. Irish, on the other hand, hails from Kansas City and works as a teller in a bank. The third one is a character that gamers will create, something that is similar to "GTA V's" multiplayer.

Although these speculations are quite interesting to note, gamers might want to take them as a grain of salt for now. Rockstar, as of writing, haven't confirmed the alleged next year release of "Red Dead Redemption 2."
