Red Dead Redemption Korean Rating Hints At Remaster
Take-Two Interactive has filed a game rating classification in South Korea for Red Dead Redemption, which already has a rating in the country alongside Undead Nightmare Collection and GOTY Edition. That means that this is something new, possibly even a remaster finally bringing the original to current-gen platforms alongside its sequel.
This was first spotted by Gematsu who explains that the classification number "CC-NV-230615-001" refers to a console game. That's because it includes "NV", PC games are referred to as "NP". The original Red Dead Redemption never came to PC, so this isn't a long-awaited port, again adding fuel to the remaster speculation. However, if it is a remaster, that doesn't rule it out from launching on PC as well.

Take-Two and Rockstar have not announced a Red Dead Redemption remaster, but interestingly enough, insider Tez2 claimed last year that a "reliable source" told them GTA 4 and RDR remasters were "on the table a few years ago". Rockstar reportedly did not pursue the idea any further. "The poor reception of the [GTA Trilogy] might be a reason behind that decision."
According to Tez2, "The talks didn't cease years ago. Remasters of [GTA 4] & RDR1 remained on the table even when the Trilogy launched. Decision to green-light full production wasn't given just yet. Trilogy wasn't doing well not just sales, but fan reception as well."
It's possible that plans have changed, and with it being the fifth anniversary of Red Dead Redemption 2 this year (yes, 2018 was five years ago--I'm sorry), Rockstar might have an announcement up its sleeve to celebrate. The one concern everyone has is who is behind this possible remaster.
