A leaked trailer shows Red Dead Redemption 2 for PS5 & Xbox Series S/X

Following
the
slight
potential
for
a
Bully
remaster,
more
news
is
emerging
from
Rockstar,
but
this
time
it’s
for
the
long-awaited
PS5
and
Xbox
Series
S/X
of

Red
Dead
Redemption
2.

An
alleged
leaked
trailer
has
surfaced
for
a
current-gen
port
of
Red
Redemption
2
which
would
bring
the
game
natively
to
PlayStation
5
and
Xbox
Series
S/X.
The
trailer
claims
it’s
launching
in
March
of
2025.

The
trailer
comes
from
a
Reddit
post
where
a
user
claims
to
have
worked
at
Rockstar
for
a
short
time
and
was
shown
a
trailer
for
a
“new”
gen
version
of
the
game.
Said
user
also
claimed
to
have
the
entire
trailer
on
their
hard-drive
and
posted
for
everyone
to
see.
According
to
the
user,
“…I
think
it
has
been
abandoned
as
to
not
interfere
with
GTA
6’s
marketing,
unless
they
delay
that
and
give
fans
more
RDR
content
as
a
holdover.”

Is
Rockstar
Games
up
to
something?

from
a
now
deleted
Reddit
post
about
a
PS5
and
Xbox
Series
X
version
of
Red
Dead
Redemption
2.
Bully
just
got
rated
for
the
same
consoles
so
who
knows.

The
user
goes
on
to
say
the
trailer
“focuses
more
on
Arthur
and
the
story
instead
of
any
new
graphical
features.
Pretty
much
to
get
old
fans
all
nostalgic
and
double
dip.
So
don’t
get
too
excited.
It’s
pretty
much
the
PC
version
on
console.”

The
post
was
very
quickly
deleted,
but
not
before
@CoffeeSneeze
on
X
managed
to
snag
the
trailer.

Said
trailer
is
interesting
because
it
uses
a
remixed
orchestral
version
of
That’s
The
Way
It
Is
from
the
game’s
original
soundtrack,
lending
some
creditability
to
the
trailer.

Of
course,
it’s
also
possible
someone
used
some
handy
AI
tools
to
remix
the
music
as
well,
or
did
it
themselves.
The
music
doesn’t
sound
quite
right,
featuring
a
generic
type
of
orchestral
style,
the
kind
you
might
of
when
you
imagine
a
typical
Hollywood
trailer.
In
other
words,
it
doesn’t
quite
some
like
the
kind
of
thing
Rockstar
would
do.
But
then,
we
also
have
to
consider
this
might
not
be
a
trailer
intended
to
be
shown
to
public,
rather
a
rough
draft.

It
wouldn’t
be
the
first
time
people
have
cobbled
together
an
elaborate
fake
trailer
for
a
Rockstar
game,
either.

The
trailer
also
doesn’t
mention
anything
about
improved
framerates,
better
graphics
or
anything
else,
which
is
a
bit
odd
if
the
trailer
is
meant
to
be
for
a
current-gen
update.

Of
course,
an
updated
version
of
Red
Dead
Redemption
2
would
seem
like
an
obvious
move
given
how
absurdly
successful
the
game
has
been
for
Rockstar.
But
then,
it
did
take
Rockstar
well
over
a
decade
to
bring

Red
Dead
Redemption
to
PlayStation
4.
