Report: Red Dead Redemption Cost $100 Million To Develop

According to a report, Rockstar Games’ sandbox Wild West title Red Dead: Redemption cost $100 million to develop.

Rockstar, in a previous statement said the project was its “most ambitious to date” and with a huge marketing budget as well as a more than five year development cycle, the development price tag doesn’t seem too farfetched.

The $100 million game?

First revealed at E3 2005, before Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 were even available to consumers, Red Dead: Redemption, finally hit the market on Tuesday (later this week in Europe) and analysts expect it to sell in excess of four million copies before the summer is over.
