The game studio has uploaded a mysterious image on their official website recently. The image has their symbol in the middle, but there were no details written below it. This could be a big hint from them that they are developing or remastering a game from the video game franchise.

On Instagram, the image now has 99,000 likes and 5,805 comments, while on Facebook it has over 41,000 likes, 3,300 comments, and 3,300 shares.
Based on the tally of likes for the announcement from all three main social media channels, the total count has gone up to 240,000 in just five hours. This new development shows just how much the fans want the return of the popular game title.
The original video game was released for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in May 2010. It got the Xbox One backwards compatibility support for the Xbox One, but it was not playable on the PlayStation 4. "Red Dead Revolver" was re-released on the PS4 on Oct. 11, which could have been giving way for the sequel.
