Kotaku havesince reportedthat they’ve spoken to their own Rockstar sources, and confirmed that Rockstar had “shelved all remakes” and were focusing on development of GTA6. A Red Dead Redemption remake was rumoured last year at the same time asnumerous rumours about the GTA: Trilogy remake.
It’s no wonder that Rockstar would want to take a break from remasters for a while, although it’s worth noting that Take-Two said in an investor call that sales of the Definitive Edition outstripped their expectations. Kotaku’s sources reportedly say that remasters of Red Dead Redemption and GTAIV could still happen after GTA6.
