More GTA 5 Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 news coming tomorrow?
UPDATE ONE: While it was hoped that some kind of Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer would be shown during Super Bowl 2017, the sporting event has now been and past without the hint of a RDR 2 teaser.
While there was no big announcement during the Super Bowl, there is hopes that another date could see the release of some new information.
A new Take-Two Interactive earnings report is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7 and is likely to include at least references to the new game.
Going on past TTI events, it seems likely that there will be discusions related to both the future of GTA 5 Online and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The information during these event can prove quite limited, however, fans should keep their ears to the ground as more on the amount of new content coming to GTA 5 Online could be a main talking point.
Red Dead Redemption 2 pre-order cards, meanwhile, will reportedly go on sale on February 5, which suggests a big announcement is inbound.
Other projects that could be touched on is one that is reportedly being put together by Rockstar for the Nintendo Switch, which will allegedly see L.A Noire released in the next 12 months on the new console.

GTA 5 Online players only have a few weeks to transfer their data from last-gen consoles to PS4 and Xbox One.
Having stopped updating GTA Online for PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2015, Rockstar has given fans a March 6 deadline to transfer character data between console generations.
After the March 6 cut off point, character data will be forever tied to Xbox 360 and PS3 accounts.
"If you have not yet brought your characters and progression over from PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 to PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC, time is running out as this will no longer be possible as of March 6, 2017,” Rockstar explained.
The news hasn't gone down well with some fans, who are unable to upgrade to PS4 or Xbox One before the deadline.

GTA 5 Liberty City map expansion mod
Rockstar describes the Xbox One and PS4 versions of GTA 5 as definitive editions, although it's PC owners that will have access to a new unofficial map expansion.
GTA 5 modders OpenIV are currently attempting to bring Liberty City from GTA IV to Los Santos.
The first version of the new mode could arrive by Spring, although a project this ambitious might run into a few more problems before the release date.
“We do not have exact or even estimate dates, but for now we are plan to release first version of Liberty City during the spring season (March, April, May).”
Fans should be warned that by downloading this new mod, they will not be able to launch GTA 5 Online without running the risk of being banned by Rockstar.
Fans who want to run the new version of GTA 5 will need to:
- Download a convertor tool with some additional assets. This tool will convert Liberty City from your copy of GTA IV into GTA V.
- The converter tool will create a single player DLC pack, which will be installed into your GTA V.
- The convertor tool requires a lot of free space on your hard drive. The OpenIV is also required because the convertor tool uses it during conversion process.
- OpenIV have also added a disclaimer, warning fans that by downloading this mod, there will be a high probability that they could get banned by Rockstar.
In other Rockstar news, Red Dead Redemption 2 fans could find out the PS4 and Xbox One release date later this week, as pre-order cards are leaked by retailers.
It's even been rumoured that a brand new trailer will be released for the Super Bowl, which takes place on the same day.
It's possible the new Red Dead Redemption 2 Super Bowl trailer will be used to reveal the release date, or it could be used to announce that pre-orders are live.
The Red Dead Redemption 2 release date is currently set for autumn 2017, although various retailer leaks have narrowed it down to October.
