"Red Dead Redemption 2" is rumored to have a release date even before "Grand Theft Auto 6" is expected to come out for the PlayStation and Xbox in the near future.

In a recent blog post by Rockstar Studios, wherein they focused on the "GTA Online Heists," the studio pondered on the possibilities of sequels for their other games, which would include "Red Dead Redemption 2."

The release date rumors sparked after Rockstar saw how the franchise is still being accepted by the fans even though the release date of the original game have been long gone.

"It's wonderful to see so much excitement and enthusiasm for the Red Dead series, and nearly 5 years after 'Red Dead Redemption's' release," Rockstar Games claimed. "As we've mentioned when asked in the past about new games in other series such as 'Red Dead Redemption,' 'Bully' and 'L.A. Noire,' we don't always rush to make sequels, but that does not mean we won't get to them eventually. We have so many games we want to make and the issue is always one of bandwidth and timing."

Meanwhile, Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed in a Game Spot that a possible "Read Dead Redemption 2" release date might possibly happen soon. He however pointed out how the studios want to focus more on the quality of the game releases, which might have been one of the reasons for a lengthy release time.

"The risk of just [releasing more games] is that you end up just bulking up your release schedule and that isn't really what consumers want. Consumers want better, not more," Zelnick said. "So our selective approach, which we've taken since '07 I think has paid off. Now, we have gotten more by taking that approach; we've launched one new successful franchise every year and I would like to keep doing that particularly because I talk about permanent franchises, but not everything is going to be a permanent franchise. Some of our great franchises eventually will lose their luster and some will hopefully be permanent."
