According to a reliable Rockstar insider, remasters of GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption “were on the table a few years ago” but have seemingly been canceled or delayed indefinitely to focus on the next and highly anticipated title in the Grand Theft Auto series, GTA 6. Additionally, the insider claimed that the remaster cancellations also resulted from the poor reception of the recent Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy remasters. Kotaku added to this by citing sources that backed up the claims while also noting that the Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV remasters aren’t completely “out of scope” and could be developed in the future.
Details on both games via their websites can be seen below:
GTA IV
Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and Luis Lopez all have one thing in common – they live in the worst city in America.
Liberty City worships money and status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare for those who don’t.
Niko is looking to escape his past and make a new life for himself in the land of opportunity. Johnny, a veteran member of The Lost biker gang, is caught in the middle of a vicious turf war with rival gangs for control of the city. Luis, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (a.k.a. “Gay Tony”), is struggling with the competing loyalties of family and friends in a world in which everyone has a price. Their lives cross paths with devastating consequences as they fight to survive in a city torn apart by violence and corruption.
The Complete Edition includes Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes – The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony.
