What Take-Two, the publisher of Red Dead Redemption 2 thinks about the ongoing popular saying: Single-Player Are Dead? There’s been a lot of discussion and controversy about the rise of multiplayer titles, which at a certain point around last year were seemingly putting at risk the existence itself of single-player games.

There’s been a lot of discussion and controversy about the rise of multiplayer titles, which at a certain point around last year were seemingly putting at risk the existence itself of single-player games.

Since then, like the period when Visceral Games was shut down and battle royale became a genre of its own, things have luckily enough returned to a more reasonable path thanks to the efforts of Bethesda, Sony, and few other publishers.

Red Dead Redemption II Publisher Comments On Singleplayer Game

Talking about the matter, Strauss Zelnick, CEO at Take-Two Interactive, has insisted that single-player experience are not dead at all as they prepare to launch Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 26, 2018, for PS4 and Xbox One.

“Historically, in entertainment, people take positions like that, but there are also people saying that it won’t work if it’s not a free-to-play battle royale,” Zelnick told GamesBeat in a recent interview.

“People really are saying that, and not even tongue-in-cheek. I don’t buy that. Single-player, in my opinion, is not dead, not even close. Companies that feel like they’ll just avoid the hard work of building a story and characters and go right to where the money is in multiplayer, I don’t think that’s going to work. I’d be surprised.”

Well, if he says so! Hopefully, this commitment will be further expanded when Red Dead Redemption 2 releases later this year thanks to additional single-player content, which has been missing a lot from GTA V.
