Red Dead Redemption 2 will be made sooner or later, with Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick branding the original game as part of a “permanent franchise”.

At the Cowen and Company Analyst conference (via Gamespot), Zelnick explained to IGN.com that both Red Dead and BioShock were bound to have new entries in future, though he stressed the publisher’s commitment to launching a new series on a yearly basis.

“I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent,” he said. “It’s obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that Red Dead is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others.

“We haven’t given any colour on how you should think about [BioShock] yet except we do believe it’s beloved; we think it’s important [and] certainly something that we’re focused on; something 2K Marin will be responsible for shepherding going forward,” he continued. “I think there’s a lot of upside in that franchise. It hasn’t necessarily been realised yet.”
