If you’ve been paying attention you’ll knowRockstar Gamesplans to launchRed Dead Redemption 3somewhere down the line, though it might not be the next game afterGTA VI.Heck, at this stage we’re not even sureif it releases this generation.
Take a look at some of the bestRed Dead Redemption 2wins and fails below!
While there are plenty of avenuesRed Dead Redemption 3could pursue, the general consensus seems to be that a young Landon Ricketts would be the perfect star of a third game.

We first met the ageing gunslinger Landon Ricketts in the originalRed Dead Redemption, and while he doesn’t appear inRed Dead Redemption 2, there are a few references to him.
John Marston meets Ricketts in a small town known as Chuparosa in Nuevo Paraíso, where the legendary gunslinger protected the locals as an unofficial sheriff. He’s also the character who teaches Marston how to master the Dead Eye ability (don’t think too hard about the fact Marston can use it inRed Dead Redemption 2). Simply put, Ricketts is the stuff of legend, and undoubtedly has a backstory that’s waiting to be mined.
“Is it just me or doesRDR 3starring a young Landon Ricketts not sound perfect?” asked DayneAD onReddit.
“I think it sounds pretty cool, they can continue the themes of myth, history and reality,” replied AnElusiveSomething. “Honestly, I just want them to make a cowboy game that takes place in the West before its decline. So much of Western media takes place when the West is dying.”

“Playing as a young Landon Ricketts would be perfect for that,” said Brahmus168. “All we know about him is that he was a famous gunslinger. We know he’s a player-tier character and can use Dead Eye because he taught John how to get back into it.”
Perhaps my favourite idea, however, is the notion of a game that really just lets you be a badass cowboy. “I really REALLY want the next game to be a complete 180 and be called Red Dead Revenge," wrote one fan. “No more redemption and hope, only rage and hatred.”
Yep, I am so here forRed Dead Revenge.
