Red Dead Redemption 2 rumors: Massive map, game to be released in E3 2016?
Rumors about the forthcoming release of "Read Dead Redemption 2" continue to make rounds, as Rockstar remain tight-lipped in terms of further details about the game.
A suspected map for the much-awaited video game recently surfaced online. However, fans were quick to notice some discrepancies with the map, like a New Bordeaux town which is apparently from another Rockstar game Mafia 3.
As far as the release date goes, Express noted that the game might be officially introduced in the much-awaited E3 2016. E3 is known to be the avenue where most tech companies feature their releases for the year, and Rockstar will be a part of it. According to a report by Express, CEO of parent publisher Take-Two Strauss Zelnick confirmed during this year's LA expo that Rockstar will surely attend the said conference. "Will be there [E3 2016] in a big way," he said.
Being initially set in the Western regions of the U.S., the second installment of the popular game franchise is rumored to feature the Eastern part of the country as well. In a report by Crossmap, the game will keep true to its original location. However, it will expand further east, enabling gamers to explore more areas instead of just sticking with the previous game's location. This rumor might be more possible to happen than the previous talks about a Japan setting. Despite it being a good idea to put a big twist to the game with an Asian setting, it might be too big of a risk for the game which became famous for its old Western setting.
Most speculations do not hold much weight, and fans are advised to take them with a grain of salt. If Rockstar indeed introduces "Red Dead Redemption 2" on E3, the game is most likely to be available to the market by 2017. The game is expected to be available in Play Station 4, Xbox One and PC.
