Red Dead Redemption 2 could have a Battle Royale mode, but it does not want to be a Fortnite clone

"If we turned an upcoming version into a sad and diluted version of Fortnite, I can assure you that it would fail."

Position of Rockstar and Take-Two on Red Dead Redemption 2 and the approach they adopt with the development of the game was pretty admirable until Now. Although they obviously hope for a successful game (which analysts are sure), monetization is not their main concern. They are, on the contrary, preoccupied first and foremost with making a big game.

This same philosophy, in fact, governs everything they do with Red Dead Redemption 2 ] including the prospect of having a royal battle mode in the game. In an interview with Game Daily, the CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, said that even though they certainly do not exclude Not a Royal Battle Mode in Red Dead Redemption 2 This is not something that they want to make a trend. "Nobody wants to be a clone Fortnite " seems to be their driving philosophy, and instead they just want to include something in their game if it's "serving the experience basic entertainment ". "We have already used Royal Battle mechanics," said Zelnick. "I would not exclude it, but any mechanic you use would like to be serving the basic entertainment experience and would be consumer-driven.In our opinion, this would not be driven by revenue. And if one is too derived from the success of another, you pretty much guarantee that you will not have your own success, because no one is looking for a clone of Fortnite I wish we had Fortnite – we do not wish it – Fortnite not going to help me. "

" That's not to say that you "We would not use a mechanic who is in other games," he continued. "We are certainly not opposed to using anything created by someone else to serve a good experience in our own games, so there are times when you could choose to be derived for a small part of a game, but I think there is a lot of emphasis on the questions that have been asked more clearly by some who are, "Hey, look Fortnite should not everything you do be an example of Fortnite ?" The answer is absolutely not. an upcoming version in a sad and diluted version of Fortnite I can assure you that she would fail, in addition to being embarrassing [for the brand]. "
