Devolver Digital Offers To Do Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Port For Rockstar (Sort Of)

Red Dead Redemption on PC? Didn’t happen. How about RDR2? That’s also a dead horse, well-whipped. But that hasn’t stopped one eager publisher from putting up its hand and offering to handle the desktop version of Rockstar’s upcoming open-world gunslinger.

Most importantly, this time you can brush your horse.”]

In response to the news of RDR2‘s online beta, Devolver Digital, best known as the publisher behind the Serious Sam franchise and recent Shadow Warrior revivals, decided to have some fun at Rockstar’s expense.

Let’s break this down. You see the first tweet and you think “you’re telling me… there’s a chance?”

By the second one, it’s clear we’re in joke territory.

And upon reading the third one… well…

Somehow — and I might be jumping the gun here — I don’t think Rockstar’s going to take up Devolver’s rather kind offer.

It appears developer Rockstar and publisher Take-Two didn’t take the work of modding group White Team too seriously… that is, until it released a trailer. Shortly after the drop, the video disappeared from YouTube.”]
