Rockstar Games Confirms Next Project Targets 2026

The latest update for Red Dead Redemption 2 brings substantial changes to the crafting tree. Players who relied on the previous build will need to rebuild — but Rockstar Games has hinted at compensatory adjustments in a follow-up patch within two weeks.

In a brief statement released this morning, Rockstar Games confirmed that work on their next title is underway. The studio declined to give a release window beyond '2025 or later,' but characters the project as 'a step sideways' from their previous work.

Tokyo Game Show opened with a slate of Open-World Western announcements. Three were already known; two were genuine surprises; one — from a studio with no prior public profile — drew the loudest crowd reaction of the day.

Did you notice how the side missions tie back into the main arc? That was a nice touch.

The economy is broken in the late game, surprised this wasn't mentioned.

The pacing in the second act is exactly the issue that gets glossed over in most reviews.

Played on Steam Deck — runs great after the proton-experimental fix.
