Millions would probably agree that the Red Dead Redemption series is one of the greatest of all time, which is why fans are eager to see a third-numbered entry.
This belovedRockstar Gamesseries began with the linearRed Dead Revolverin 2004 for thePlayStation2 and originalXbox, before venturing into the open-world genre with 2010’sRed Dead Redemption.

Then in 2018, we were treated to the fantasticRed Dead Redemption 2, which was bigger and arguably better than its predecessors. However, despite the number two in the title,Red Dead Redemption 2is a prequel to the 2010 game released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

So withRed Dead Redemptionbeing set in 1911 and its sequel in 1899, if the third game in the series was to be a sequel, it would potentially lose its Wild West theme. With that in mind, it would make sense forRed Dead Redemption 3to be another prequel and fans are already discussing what the game will be about.
“I think it’s guaranteed that we’re getting a prequel to the prequel ofRDRwhich will be the last of this story arch. And I would love to play as a younger Dutch as he puts the gang together,” suggested the Reddit user kicking off the discussion on the thread.

Fellow members on the thread also suggested an origins story for Arthur Morgan and Hosea Matthews or even a newly announced character in the series.
“What if there was a gang leader before Dutch, someone Hosea’s age then Dutch comes in and takes over,” suggests LusciousFingers.“We play the role of the gang leader and meet Dutch and watch him become the charismatic leader he is. Before he betrays us.”
“What’s weird to me is that people don’t wantRDR3because the story of redemption is over, they don’t know that because the writers already buried the seeds intoRDR2and then that blooms up for a third entry, that being Mac Callander’s redemption,” explained a Reddit user.
For context, Mac Callander is a former member of the Dutch van der Linde gang but he is the only member of the infamous group never to be seen on screen.

It’s worth keeping in mind that while a new Red Dead Redemption feels like a given, Rockstar Games has yet to make any such announcement. That being said, if or whenRed Dead Redemption 3does arrive, it’s likely to be afterGTA VIwhich is currently scheduled to be released in late 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
