MORE: Red Dead Redemption 2: Actor Roger Clark Would Be Willing to Return as Arthur
While Rockstar Games never confirmed or denied these rumors, a new image surfaced that cited the existence of a Red Dead Redemption: The Outlaws Collection for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Unfortunately, this is certainly a hoax, as Kotaku’s Zack Zwiezen extensively explained on Twitter.
Starting off, Zweizen says that the creator probably searched for a high-quality PNG image of Arthur Morgan and John Marston and after some tweaking, planted it on the actual cover art from Red Dead Redemption 2. There are also weird black marks on either side of the alleged cover art.
At this point, it’s pretty clear that the image is fake but there are further errors that need to be pointed out. Firstly, the PS5 version of the game is listed out as “Playstation 5” instead of “PlayStation 5,” which ignores the spelling convention for the Sony console brand. Also, as pointed by DualShockers, the return date for the game is listed earlier than the game’s release date.
While Rockstar Games’ track record says otherwise, a Red Dead Redemption remake won’t be that surprising. Firstly, a huge chunk of the Red Dead Redemption map is present in Red Dead Redemption 2 including some key areas like New Austin and New Elizabeth. So it seems rebuilding Red Dead Redemption on the assets of Red Dead Redemption 2 may not prove to be that difficult for Rockstar Games. Further, seeing how Red Dead Redemption continues the story of RDR 2, many fans would be curious to explore the story of John Marston after the demolition of the Van Der Linde Gang.
Red Dead Redemption is available on PS3, Xbox 360 and also on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S via backwards compatibility.
