The Top 5 Red Dead Redemption 3 Rumors
Many theories concerning Red Dead Redemption 3's locale,
protagonists, and plot are floating around, despite Rockstar's denials of any
confirmation.Red Dead Redemption 3, which is soon to be released, is eagerly
anticipated. Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption series features some of the
best-received and most influential role-playing games of the twenty-first
century. The two main Red Dead games in the series chronicle over a decade of
the Van der Linde gang and its associated characters' Wild West exploits. Following
the publication of RDR2 five years ago, discussions on a potential third
installment in the series are beginning to gain significant traction.
Nevertheless, a lot of rumors exist regarding the game's possible features and the possibility that it is already under development. Given the overall popularity of the series and
the information that Red Dead Redemption 2 was supposedly in development for
over eight years—concept work had started even prior to Red Dead Redemption's
2010 release—it is not at all unreasonable to assume that a third game is
currently in the works. The only official sources of information on RDR3 at the
moment are rumors and well-informed guesswork. On social media, forums, and
news websites, there is a lot of discussion on popular hypotheses about the
game's setting, possible protagonists, plot, and even its release date.
Red Dead Redemption 3 would most likely need to occur before the events of Red Dead Redemption 2 in order to preserve the fundamental themes and ambiance of the game. According to Rob Wiethoff's YouTube interview with Sackchief, who plays John Marston in the
games, this is the main viewpoint on the matter. Since Wiethoff believed that
the tale of the first Red Dead Redemption represented the "end of an
era," any chronological sequel would have to take place in a more
contemporary setting, possibly compromising the game's Wild West themes with
the introduction of sophisticated cars.
There isn't really space for a Red Dead Redemption sequel between the two since Red Dead
Redemption 2 (2018) bridges the gap between 1899 and the original game, and
2010's Red Dead Redemption took place in 1911. Unless it tackles completely
different stories within the same scenario, It makes the most sense to create a
prequel to the events of RDR2, with a post-1911 scenario being out of the
question due to thematic considerations. Rock Star Games would have the chance
to delve into the backstories of a multitude of characters from the franchise,
including the early happenings of the Van der Linde gang, because Red Dead
Redemption 3 is set before 1899.
A chronological sequel is not impossible, despite the argument made by some that RDR3 shouldn't go into the later decades of the 20th century. For one of these sequels, Jack
Marston is arguably the most apparent candidate for the lead role. The main
story elements, most notably the notion of redemption, might still be strong
even with certain adaptations to the modernizing setting's themes and game
mechanics (especially with relation to weaponry). By killing Edgar Ross at the
end of Red Dead Redemption, Jack exacts revenge on his father, John.
Regretfully, his father had thought that his son would be able to break free
from this cycle of life as an outlaw. With the themes of both games and where the plot left off chronologically, Red Dead Redemption 3 as Jack's redemption story makes perfect sense. A follow-up game might examine Jack's downward slide into crime and whether or not he manages to escape it, given that he started living as an outlaw at the conclusion of the last game by killing a retired marshal. It has also been speculated in some Reddit threads,
like one launched by YoungBeef03, that the game takes place as far forward as
post-WWII, with Jack returning from the conflict to confront a more
contemporary world and flee the horrors of his past.
