News · Development Is RDR3 in Development? Red Dead Redemption 3 is a GTA-like set in the Wild West, and we already know how long developing a Grand Theft Auto can take, since we have been waiting for GTA 6 for nine years now with still no release date in sight. May 30, 2022 By Joseph Lambert 2 min read No official announcement Rockstar has never officially announced the game, and its communication about the series is very cautious, and that is completely understandable given RDR2's chaotic development. Keep in mind that employees were overworked, and a huge backlash erupted during that stressful pre-launch period. As a result, Rockstar seems to be betting on a careful strategy to avoid a repeat, and you can bet they won't communicate too early about the release to avoid getting cornered and having to push the dev team again to ship on time. Rockstar is taking its time, and we can't really complain. More time also means more work on the game and better attention to detail, and we can only hope it will be enough to fix some of the issues that surface today with RDR2, where online is nearly abandoned by Rockstar, which strongly annoys players, or with GTA Online and its endless loading times and disastrous server management. No official source has confirmed that the game is in development, and we really don't know when we'll get to play it.
