PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U versions are planned for sometime afterwards.

An update in April 2016 clarified that development was still proceeding, with a Q3 2016 release date planned for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux. While an early beta version was released through Steam Early Access in September 2014, the game missed its 2014 release date, and a lack of further updates in 2015 lead to fears of the game being cancelled. The game was initially intended for an August 2014 release, which was pushed back to November 2014 at the release of the alpha version in April 2014. In it, he blamed the timing of the campaign launch and general crowdfunding fatigue. Paul Fisch, a developer on the game elaborated on reasons why their Kickstarter campaign did not "take off" in a piece for The Penny Arcade Report. While the game was funded for development, it missed the 198,000 stretch goal for a virtual reality Oculus Rift version. The campaign raised over $173,000, successfully exceeding its $160,000 goal. The game was first announced April 2013, alongside a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.

He had intended for the blog post to be a call for developers Electronic Arts to revisit the series, but following the commercial failures of racing/combat hybrids such as Split/Second and Blur, he believed there would be no appetite for such game from an established publisher, so began working on his own take on the game. In 2009, Ian Fisch, a long time fan of the Road Rash series wrote a blog post on why the game needed a revival. The proposed Wii U version would have also featured the ability for multiplayer sessions to take place with one player on the television and the other using just the Wii U GamePad screen. The game will feature split screen multiplayer modes, including the computer-based ones, which is more of a rarity for the platform.

In addition to the melee weapons featured in Road Rash, Road Redemption introduces firearms in the players options for weapons as well. The game aims to replicate the arcade-like simplicity and silliness of the Road Rash games, while introducing more modern graphics and gameplay mechanics. The game is a spiritual successor to the Road Rash series of vehicular combat racing video games.
