The news about Red Dead Redemption 3 was hinted at during an investor meeting held by take-two. In the interview, the CEO, Strauss Zelnick, announced that the game is in the making but will not be released anytime soon.
Zelnick went on to compare his games, like GTA and Red Dead Redemption, to James Bond, stating, “You would like every franchise to be James Bond. There are precious few entertainment franchises of any sort that fall into that category, but they do exist. And I think GTA is one of them, I think Red Dead is one of them…”
