Red Dead Redemption has been rated in Korea

A new rating for Red Dead Redemption has been published.

Rockstar’s 13-year-old game was classified again this month by South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee, which has a history of revealing upcoming titles prior to their official announcement.

As spotted by Gematsu, the new rating carries a classification number that refers to console games.

Red Dead Redemption was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 in May 2010, but was never ported to PC.

The new Korean classification is separate to existing ones for the original game, its Undead Nightmare Collection and its Game of the Year Edition.

VGC has contacted Rockstar for comment on the new rating.

A Rockstar insider who has previously leaked accurate information about the company’s games claimed last year that remasters of Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption were once planned but had since been scrapped.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018 packaged with a multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online, which received a standalone release in 2020.

Rockstar owner Take-Two said in May that the franchise has shipped over 75 million units, including 53 million copies of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Having confirmed in early 2022 that “active development” on Grand Theft Auto 6 was “well underway”, more than an hour of footage of the game leaked online last September.
