If Rockstar would finally announce the game, it would blow our minds to smithereens.<\/p>\n<p>The original is a great, open world cowboy adventure that all gamers loved. It came hand-in-hand with an amazing\u00a0setting, an intriguing\u00a0storyline, memorable characters and a great host of locations to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, rumors are circulating that we may be close to a <em>Red Dead Redemption 2 <\/em>reveal<em>. <\/em>Consequently, many people thought that the game would be announced at E3 2015, but that didn&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>With Gamescom nearly here, Rockstar could now take us back to the world of <em>Red Dead<\/em> with a huge announcement and reveal of a next-generation <em>Red Dead\u00a0<\/em>game. It&#8217;s something <a href=\"http:\/\/wccftech.com\/rockstar-wild-west-announcemnet-red-dead-redemption-2-month\/\" target=\"_blank\">WCCFTech<\/a> agrees with.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox division, Phil Spencer, has made it clear that he is really excited about the massive\u00a0gaming event. He furthermore said that Xbox\u2019s presence at the show will be as equally important as E3 2015&#8217;s showing, with\u00a0many new announcements to be made.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand,\u00a0Sony will be absent from\u00a0Gamescom, opting rather for\u00a0Paris Games Week instead, gamer focus will now squarely on Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has games to show off like <em>Crackdown<\/em>, <em>Scalebound<\/em> and <em>Quantum<\/em> <em>Break<\/em> that have all been confirmed for appearances, and <em>Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> could top all of it for Xbox.<\/p>\n<p>With <em>Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> a\u00a0timed exclusive for Xbox One\u00a0could be a\u00a0possibility, even a special partnership involving content availability could be made.<\/p>\n<p>However, all we can do is hope for the\u00a0reveal of the game, and whether it&#8217;s a sequel or something new altogether, we would stand excited for either.<\/p>\n<p>So for now, we just need to wait for Gamescom will be held in Cologne, Germany, from August 5 to August 9. Let&#8217;s just keep our fingers crossed for\u00a0<em>Red Dead Redemption\u00a02<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More On Xbox<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/xbox\/78394-xbox-one-wireless-elite-controller-vs-scuf-infinity1.html\">Xbox One Wireless Elite Controller vs. SCUF Infinity1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/77932-5-most-anticipated-xbox-one-exclusives-coming-our-way.html\" target=\"_blank\">5 most anticipated Xbox One exclusives coming our way<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/xbox\/77788-the-xbox-ones-elite-controller-is-all-sorts-of-awesome.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Xbox One\u2019s Elite controller is all sorts of awesome<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get your saddles ready folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":78841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1969,10946,14468,193,2091],"class_list":["post-78835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-news-2","tag-red-dead-redemption","tag-red-dead-redemption-2","tag-rockstar","tag-rumours"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78835"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78847,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78835\/revisions\/78847"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
