However, the developer still hasn't made a concrete statement yet whether the sequel is really happening or not. Moreover, recent reports have emerged suggesting that the game is allegedly being developed and could be released sometime next year, 2016.

According to the report from Venture Capital Post, words on the street has strongly suggested that Rockstar Games is indeed working on the sequel "Red Dead Redemption 2" and it could potentially have a release date possibly by 2016.

Furthermore, Jack is also expected to act as the protagonist on this game sequel and that the story will revolve around him.

As for its newly added contents, Crossmap has mentioned that the sequel will most likely feature a co-op multiplayer. If this turn out to be accurate though, "Red Dead Redemption 2" will be the first in the franchise to ever sport a feature such as this one.

Lastly, in terms of availability or compatibility for the platforms, the source has stated that the game sequel will most certainly have a port for the PC as well as the next-gen (or current gen) consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
