The video game world was sent into pandemonium this weekend following a cryptic message from Rockstar Games.
The minds behind the Grand Theft Auto series got tongues wagging on Sunday afternoon following a tweet of their logo in a red and black colour motif.

How could a simple logo get over seven thousand retweets in less than half an hour?
Because the colour scheme strongly resembles that of Rockstar Games’ western classic Red Dead Redemption.
Spot the resemblance?
Depending on who you talk to, Red Dead Redemption is either one of the best games of the Xbox 360/Playstation 3 era, or the best game Rockstar ever made (even better than GTA V).
So you could imagine the teasing of more Rockstar themed Western adventures got people hyped.
Big sigh of relief! https://t.co/4wwOeJSWEW

Rockstar soon updated their official website with a post that contains a similar picture. Just to make sure we all understood something is coming.
What that is though, we’ll have to wait. At time of writing, we are yet to know if Rockstar plans to make a fully fledged sequel to Red Dead Redemption, or if they plan on making a HD remaster of the game for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
All we do know is, we (probably) having a feast soon, my brothers…
