Rockstar Studio’s approach towards its various popular franchise hasn’t been the same over the years. While fans of Grand Theft Auto do receive routine updates and annual DLC content releases, but no info about new sequels. Conversely, the Red Dead franchise has received a sequel, but its multiplayer Red Dead Online continues to collect dust.

GTA V has been the center of attention, and it is probably why the game receives frequent updates and more content for its online multiplayer. It looks like, despite the fan campaign on Twitter to save the title, things haven’t improved one bit.

Bad times will continue to encircle Red Dead Online
A new report from a GTA insider suggests Red Dead Online will not be seeing better days anytime soon. New leaks suggest developers are really not looking to add anything new to the game this summer. There is no data mined info about a possible project and the title will continue to feature monthly events all the way till 2023.
I think it's too late for an update for Red Dead Online in the Summer.
Nothing is currently in the pipeline. It looks like the game will continue to have its own monthly events for the rest of the year, unless they have something on the way for Christmas.
It's probably over.

GTA V’s success has compelled them to look the other way, as the studio is currently working on a massive GTA Online update for 2022.
Rockstar has only little as 3-4 months until they're supposed to ship out the next GTA Online update which is currently in production.
Whilst Red Dead Online has no ongoing activity on SteamDB, except for a minor patch set to release for PC sometime soon according to Tez.

The failure of the mammoth #SaveRedDeadOnline movement is quite evident, and it has created a distressing situation. Fans are left with no choice but to accept the bitter truth.
I'm at the point now of just accepting this harsh reality. #SaveRedDeadOnline didn't do anything, even though it gained so much attention.
It is what it is, I guess. It's shitty of Rockstar to keep the community in the dark.

An online social media campaign may have proved to be futile, but these fans believe a real-life protest might do the trick.
Do protest in front of rockstar north office

Disappointed fans really have no other way to cope with this horrible news, as their favorite RPG franchise continues to be ignored. What else is there to do, ranting on the internet failed to have an impact, abandoning ship is the last resort. The release of GTA VI will ultimately kill the franchise and serve as the final nail in the coffin.
