Take-Two Interactive president Karl Slatoff announced that they will be working on "unannounced" game projects this year, which includes several established game franchises. One of these "unannounced" is the rumored "Red Dead Redemption 2" video game and it is hinted that Rockstar Games has been working on the sequel for quite sometime now, The Christian Post reported.

The rumored plot of "Red Dead Redemption 2" will take place twelve years before the original game and two playable characters have been revealed; Seth and Irish.
