Rockstar Games’ now thirteen-year-old game “Red Dead Redemption” was classified again this month by South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee according to Gematsu (via VGC).
The new rating reportedly carries a classification number that indicates console games and is separate from existing ones for the original game, the ‘Undead Nightmare’ collection version, and the Game of the Year Edition.
That first game was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 in May 2010 but was never ported to PC. The country’s ratings board has, in the past, revealed some upcoming game titles before their official announcement.
The news has once again stirred talk of a remaster of the original game. Fans have long been hoping for a full-fledged remake that looks on the level of “Red Dead Redemption 2”, but that’s always been a long shot.
In recent years, there was talk of more straightforward (i.e. cheaper) remasters of both “Grand Theft Auto IV” and “Red Dead Redemption”. The critically panned and buggy launch of “Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition” remasters in late 2021 seemingly stopped any further Rockstar Games remaster talk around this time last year.
Rockstar owner Take-Two said in May that the franchise had shipped over 75 million units to date, including 53 million copies of “Red Dead Redemption 2”.
