Red Dead Redemption Delayed

March 03, 2010 in News comments 7

A lot of you have probably been waiting for April to come by so you can get your hands on Red Dead Redemption. Well sadly it seems like you will have to wait a bit longer. Take Two have announced that the game will be delayed from April 27th to May 18th in NA and May 21st for EU, AU and JP.

Update: Speaking on the delay during the call, Take-Two explained that the revised date provides it with a "better release window" and "more time to market" the title.

Update 2: The official Red Dead Redemption site adds that "these extra few weeks will make a big difference in helping us deliver you an experience beyond your expectations," as "we at Rockstar have always prided ourselves on the uncompromising quality of our games - and will always opt to take a bit longer to polish and fine-tune a game to be as perfect as possible when we think it necessary."

    What a load of crap.

    quote
    Word has it San Diego's Midnight Club franchise is in big trouble. After LA was released, two employees who were with the company for a decade were fired, after which many people quit in frustration, not wanting to work on Red Dead Redemption. The latter title is also said to be in trouble due to mismanagement, and execs don't forsee it being profitable.

    This is bad. I really hope Red Dead Redemption is released in May and not pushed back farther or even discarded completely. =/

    By the looks of it RDR won't be discarded but it's possible it will be the last of the franchise if it's not going to turn a profit.
