Red Dead Redemption Age Ratings on Korean Website
The recent appearance of Red Dead Redemption on the Korean Age ratings website has provided more concrete and new evidence of a potential re-release of the game.
The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea, known for offering advanced information on games, published an age rating for Red Dead Redemption following an application by Take-Two, Rockstar’s parent company.
Well, based on the available information, it is reasonable to assume that the remaster will be released for modern consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as PC.
Although the listing does not specify whether it is a remake, remaster, or a simple port, its presence strongly suggests that the game will be re-released in some form later this year.
The original Red Dead Redemption was exclusively launched for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and a straight port would not be visually impressive by today’s standards. The classification number assigned to the game, “CC-NV-230615-001″ indicates that it is intended for consoles as “NV” are used for consoles, but this does not rule out the possibility of a PC port in the future. Regardless, it is clear that the remaster is at least coming to consoles.
