Red Dead Redemption 2 GTA-style Online Multiplayer and 2016 release date revealed?

​

​

A sequel to the 2010 western epic has long been rumoured to be in the works, with the team behind Grand Theft Auto apparently turning it into a reality over the last four years.​

And reports now claim that Rockstar are planning to release Red Dead Redemption 2 late in 2016, with October said to be the target.​

​

​

​

The game is said to have been in development for four years​

It is also believed that the sequel could feature an open-world online multiplayer mode similar to GTA 5 Online.​

Rockstar are said to be searching for an experienced Network Programmer who 'specialises in a wide range of gameplay mechanics found in a Rockstar open world game'.​

​

On top of this, the programmer must also be 'responsible for the integration of dynamic multiplayer into all areas of gameplay in complex open-world environments'.​

GTA-esque online multiplayer in the world of Red Dead Redemption would certainly be a welcome addition to the franchise – let's just hope these reports are correct.​
