'Red Dead Redemption 2' Release Date Delay Update: Launch Pushed Back Further to 2016?
Rumors have emerged Rockstar has no plans to launch a new game in 2015, putting the initially planned outing for "Red Dead Redemption 2" back a notch.
Reports have surfaced over Rockstar Games' announcement that it will not be releasing any new offerings this year, which means the launch of "Red Dead Redemption 2" has been delayed further. This news comes after Rockstar declared it intended to focus their efforts to developing player experience for current titles.
Initially released in May 2010 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the game began with the adventures of former outlaw turned bounty hunter, John Marston, who is forced to find a cure for a zombie outbreak after the government takes his wife and son hostage to force him to render his services.

Rockstar will be implementing new system-wide features and improvements to the existing title, however, which is intended to come in a firmware update for the PS4 version of the game.
The update is set to be released by the end of March, and will include new features, one of which is the Suspend/Resume Feature that allows players to halt and resume gamplay with one touch of their console's power button. This update comes following the news Sony confirmed the intended implementation of the suspend/resume technology for their consoles in October 2014.
With Rockstar focused on delivering a higher quality of gameplay experience for their existing titles, fans of "Red Dead Redemption" may have to wait a little while longer – speculations point to 2016 – for the sequel to the top fifteen game in IGN's 2014 Top 100 "Games of a Generation."
The critically acclaimed award-winning third person video game follows Rockstar's 2004 "Red Dead Revolver."
