Rockstar Games this generation has only released one new game, Red Dead Redemption 2, back in October 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and Windows PC in November 2019. Grand Theft Auto V technically released first on last generation consoles, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in September 2013.
There is a rumor that with the success of Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games is currently developing a remake of the first Red Dead Redemption. Information about the game was revealed by a leaker and spotted by GameRant.
Rockstar Games plans to announce the remake sometime soon with a launch in the first half of 2021 for the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.
It is a complete remake of Red Dead Redemption using the engine from Red Dead Redemption 2. It will feature new missions and enhanced game mechanisms. The leaker also says a few of the original voice actors have been brought back to record new lines, including John Marston voice actor, Rob Wiethoff.
The leaker also mentioned Grand Theft Auto VI won't get announced until at least Summer 2022.

Very doubtful. But I would welcome a remakster of the original since I enjoyed it much more than RDR2, which I found the gameplay systems very tedious and more often than not boring.
Thats nice but what about GTA4 remaster or xbox one x patch?
Hope to hell this is true.
I'd be interested in it, if it wasn't for the fact that RDR2 on PC is still buggy, costs a lot and requires me to install and run the R* client alongside Steam, so that's a "no" from me.
Probably end up just an up rez remaster then.
Would be interested to if they add in some extra content to tie in some bits of RDR2. For instances, characters like Sadie and Charles who weren’t in RDR1 but survived RDR2.
More like a Definitive Edition like Xenoblade then
This only really seems believable if its a "remake" in the same vein as Xenoblade, where they're essentially rebuilding the same game in a new engine and with a bit more content thrown in there.
This sounds wasteful. They have other IPs they can be giving attention too
