Using an AI image generator, Reddit userCaptain-Kulabuilt a very interesting take on the star of the next Red Dead Redemption adventure. I have no idea how or why the AI arrived at this particular look, but I know I like it. Travelling through the Wild West as a Black cowboy would certainly make for a welcome change after Arthur Morgan and John Marston, and could undoubtedly open the door for all manner of new stories.

It should be stressed again, however, that this is just a fan mockup.Red Dead Redemption 3is a long way off yet.

Speaking with theJefferies Virtual Global Interactive Entertainment Conferencelast year (via,VGC), Zelnick compared his company’s major franchises - including Red Dead Redemption andGrand Theft Auto- to James Bond, in that they’ll keep going for many, many years to come.

“If it’s really, really great, it will keep going,” the CEO said. “I don’t know if you saw it, I just saw the new Bond film, that was great. You would like every franchise to be James Bond. There are precious few entertainment franchises of any sort that fall into that category, but they do exist. And I think GTA is one of them, I think Red Dead is one of them, NBA is obviously one of them because the game will continue to exist.

“It also requires you to be thoughtful and willing to rest the titles, so you have a sense of, ‘wow, this is a rare event,'” Zelnick explained. “I’ve always said that annualizing non-sports titles runs the risk of burning out the intellectual property, even if it’s good. So we take the time to make something we think is incredibly phenomenal, and we also rest titles intentionally so that there’s pent-up demand for that title, so it’s a special event.”

TL;DR? It’s gonna be a while.
