To the uninitiated, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-adventure game that serves as the third main entry in the Red Dead Redemption franchise. However, Red Dead Redemption 2’s story as a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption, and is set in 1899 in a fictionalized depiction of America’s Wild West.

Several months ago, Red Dead Redemption 2 finally arrived on the PC, which opened the game to a whole new player base. Just like the console versions of Red Dead Redemption 2, the PC port of the game received mostly positive reviews. In standard PC fashion, Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly received user-created mods, which offered customization options that are not available on consoles, including the controversial Hot Coffee mod.
Meanwhile, it has been announced last February that Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser will be leaving the studio. Houser is the creative force behind famous franchises such as Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. In an announcement released by Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive, the company said that “We are extremely grateful for his contributions. Rockstar Games has built some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful game worlds, a global community of passionate fans, and an incredibly talented team, which remains focused on current and future projects.”
