Red Dead Redemption and Bully Almost Never Happened, Dan Houser Reveals
It is difficult to imagine Rockstar Games without Red Dead Redemption or Bully. Yet both projects nearly failed to reach completion, according to Dan Houser. In an IGN interview published on October 13, 2026, and highlighted by GamesRadar+ on October 18, the former Rockstar co-founder discussed the difficulties behind creating original games. His comments offer a reminder that major franchises often begin as uncertain projects, without necessarily having faced a formal cancellation decision.
